Quite a good show as well

Doubt she'll make it on Radio1 though, unless there's a resurgance in 'hardcore' or Kutski gets a more mainstream show, she's good but not better that Kutski and there's only room for 1 hardcore DJ on radio1.

Im dissapointed Kutski hasn't had a chance to get more exposure over christmas actually, his enthusiasm is infectious and admirable, I think Zane fans would really take to him. I never really liked 'hardcore' before a Kutski trailer now I listen quite often. Hoping for a specialist takeover in May now! :P

I think its an odd schedule for xmas... kind of thrown together. Sad that they have gone for a lot of the pre-record stuff again, and its not really in with the "teeny" image that they have been promoting the last few months.

Weird that Fearne is the only DJ who is staying on air for the whole 2 weeks of christmas?!

Looking forward to Westwood on drive!

Will be good to hear Rob Da Bank on air a bit more, he is so under-used!

Also congrats to Dev who has breakfast for the week between - I think thats a big land for him!

There is no real sign of any of the names that people tune in for - moyles (no suprise) mills, edith, jo, vernon, reggie, even Greg isnt around much, and Im shocked that grimmy, and annie, have got a lot of the time off - I would have thought it be perfect switch opportunity! Also where are chappers and dave?!

Odd, very odd!

obviously nobody listens to radio over the christmas period. So why not just use repeats and let the less well known presenters have the practice.

its no surprise, R1 always do it, and I think it just shows what the station and presenters think about the listeners, to most of them it is just a job and they would rather be at home than in the studio. ok some people do have a proper christmas break, but hundreds of people dont..so I cant see why apart from Scott and Fearne all the other regular DJs all need a fortnight off at the same time.

Why isn't Scott on during Christmas and New Year. Radio 1 could have made him do a pre - recorded show at least. I'm not a big fan of Greg James .

Will Scott b back in January 2010 , Jono.

Make him do a pre-record?

You mean, tie him to the studio at gun point and force him to record a show?

take control

--> Getting the season into full swing, Nick Grimshaw hosts the BBC Radio 1 Festive Festival on Monday 21 December, 7-11pm, live from the BBC's Maida Vale Studios.

Serving up a selection of musical treats from some of 2009's established and hotly tipped acts, the show cements Nick's growing reputation as a supporter of new music in his nightly evening show, from 10pm Monday to Thursday on Radio 1.

The artists confirmed for the festive celebrations are: Simian Mobile Disco, Mumford and Sons, Plan B, The XX, Enter Shikari and Marina and the Diamonds.

Each act is set to perform three live tracks from the studios between 7-10pm. For the last hour from 10pm, Radio 1 DJs Kissy Sell Out and Toddla T take over with special mixes to get listeners into the party spirit.

Nick says: "We're bringing a whole host of my favourite bands from 2009 – ones who have shaped the year in music and my show over the past few months. The XX have broken through the hype and made my favourite album of the year, so I'm thrilled to have them on the bill.

"Simian Mobile Disco returned this year with an album full of plinky plonky brilliance so we had to have them. Enter Shikari, probably the most loved band by my listeners, who will tear it up as will Plan B, who will be playing new stuff for the first time on the night.

"Mumford and Sons are really going to bring the festive vibes of the night and Marina and the Diamonds the glamour and a taster of a break through album of 2010. It's such an honour to be broadcasting from Maida Vale and I can't wait to bring this festive special to everyone."

Last year's celebration, hosted by Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens was also live from Maida Vale Studios and included performances from amongst others Glasvegas, Chipmunk, Florence and the Machine and Friendly Fires, all performing for the In New Music We Trust Christmas Party.
