biggest publicity, tho.

I've just declined to do news on it, to give the time instead to other things which don't have built-in blanket publicity.

I find it weird that Festival Republic/Melvin Benn was in the press talking about this Scone Palace thing a few months back if it was gonna be a BBC Music thing. Do they always work like that?

He did say the type of music would be "middle of the road and classical", which sounded bizarre until today. :lol:

How have people not heard of Nigel Kennedy? I think his star may have faded in recent years but he was huge, probably still is in classical music circles. 

Anyhoo, for those who weren't listening to Radio 2 this morning, Perth & Coventry are one day Radio 2 and one day Radio 3 each. Noel playing Perth only on the Saturday (a little pissed off that it clashes with the Champions League final), Coventry have Billy Ocean headlining above Snow Patrol :D

£18.00 a ticket plus £4.50 booking fee.

Ahh, different stations are doing each one are they? Missed that, thanks.

yep. Belfast is 6 Music, Perth (day one) is Radio 3, Perth (day two) is Radio 2, Swansea is Radio 1, Coventry (day one) is Radio 2 and Coventry (day two) is Radio 3. Disappointed there's no Radio 4 day tbh.

Remember when this was touted as a Glastonbury replacement? Jesus Christ.

The BBC only ever said it was replacing Glastonbury in their live music programming, which is the worst possible way that it could be replaced for Glasto punters. Don’t think it’s their fault that the NME and co. ran with the ‘Glastonbury replacement’ tag and people didn’t bother actually reading it. :P
