Right ok lets get up to speed,
The Team and I (minus Marc bah) have been in Denmark since Saturday. we took the early bird which meant a 3am start, let me give you some advice, NEVER FLY TO OR FROM STANSTED it's a horrible badly organised dive of a place, I won't continue on for fear of frothing at the mouth with rage.
In contrast our destination Copenhagen, is clean well organised and highly pleasant, going away makes you realise sometimes that although London maybe the centre of the universe, that doesn't make it the best. A brief train ride and we're in the small agricultural town of Roskilde, where it decides to pour with rain, an ominous start to 9 days of camping!
Anyway let me tell you about Roskilde, think Glasto in northern Europe, with a whole lot less drugs/crime and 110,000 very good looking, friendly Scandinavians. The line up this year is pretty much the same as it's English counterpart, with some surprisingly good danish acts thrown in.
So I'm here in my 5th year of presenting a radio show at the festival radio station, for an unknown reason they heap praise on the English speaking show we do and keep asking us back. So with a free AAA pass, backstage camping and all the food and drink you can cope with, who am i to say no!
We're on Show number 4/7 today, the first three have started off well and we've settled into a good rhythm, Victoria and i immediately have on air chemistry. It still needs a good deal of fine tuning but it's an interesting dichotomy and the head honchos at the station seem genuinely thrilled with the show (something i still find difficult to adjust too!)
Yesterdays show was a battle of trying not to laugh during links as an insane naked girl danced naked in the mud with a dude in a Borat mankini. God knows what todays show brings. more later
