  1. End of an era, albeit an era that I left about 5 years ago. However Jules has introduced me to some great tunes and been a key part in many a good night out.

    He has always been very accessible and would help out in anyway he could, often saving me a few door fees along the way.

    Music will always develop and I think Jules has had a good run at R1. He's very lucky to have an alternative career ready made and I wish him success with it.

  2. Anyone remember what time this was broadcast? :)

    As I've said, my memory of the day isn't good, but I think it was early evening, probably around 7-7.30? Anyone got any better memories?

    EDIT - At the start of the broadcast, Scott Mills says "its almost 8 o'clock". I wasn't too far off :thumbsup:

    On the day it was hard to hear the music because of the crowd, and this recording is much the same!

  3. Well, Jules deffo says that this broadcast is from the Serious float. I'm 95% sure I saw him on the main stage. The floats, IMO, were pretty rubbish.

    EDIT: Well, after listening to it, Jules mentions broadcats from other floats, but nothing about his later set. I'm guessing he played the main stage, but R1 didn't broadcast it. A real shame :(

    WHat was Jules' Mrs up to?!?! Possibly the worst live vocals ever :D The crowd were better than she was :mrgreen:

  4. This is a bit like the situation a few years ago with a bootleg that was flying around in 2003/4 of U2's "With Or Without You", which had Whitney Houston vocals flung on the top - later it came out as LMC vs U2 - Take Me To The Clouds Above, I think it was Rachel McFarlane who re-did the vocals but it never quite captured the original magic of the original bootleg.

    Good shout, Tim. The 'original' with Whitney's vocals was far better than the commercial tripe that charted.

  5. Ah bless :thumbsup: Thanks Chrissie B)

    I've been away at T in the Park all weekend. We camped for the first time and luckily got our tent set up between showers. Some people that arrived after us got turned away because the car parks had become flooded. After we got back from the arena on Friday night, people with tents were still arriving and had to set their tents up in mud.

    The campsite was a mess. All the 'paths' were well muddy, but we had wellies so coped OK.

    Saw Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Calvin Harris (they had the tent bouncing), Klaxons, Razorlight and The Killers (who were amazing. Unfortunately my gf sprained her ankle on Saturday afternoon on a rough bit of ground and so we didn't get round all the bands we wanted to see and then had to leave Sunday morning, just as the mud was drying out :(

    Nevertheless, we made had a good weekend and made the best of it. I think in future we'll stick with going up for just one day and not camp. Glad I've done the 'camping at a festival' bit, but never again <_<
