Hush All Over London

Still in February I've been listening to one of the programmes done by the second years for their Music Radio module which was "At Lunch With Eric" done for a fictitious station called "Hush Radio".

The programmme itself was very laid back and contained relaxing tunes aimed at a 25-40 year old audience, such as The Stereophonics, Jamie Cullum and Dido.
Sam was on newsreading duties doing a good job and I reckon she sounded a lot more relaxed in that role than she normally does.
Then again I reckon she'll be our first choice as presenter when it comes to the Advanced Project.
There was also a live performance from first year commercial music students Oli Rose and J-Swift and an absolutley stunning tune called "I Am Blessed" blending in acoustic guitar and vocals with meaningful rap lyrics.

Compared to the "Retro Room" show that my group did the year before it was completely different in style but an interesting listen all the same and Eric didn't do too bad a job as presenter although quite a lot of the records faded out halfway through.

If I remember correctly the other group in the second year did a show called
"A Kick Up The 80s" with Pete as presenter and Denis as one of the music producers who I can remember having fun with Chris with some of the tunes they added to the playlist such as Nik Kershaw and Kraftwerk.
The newsreaders for the programme were Steven and Jane forming what I think is probably the only time a double headed newsreading team have done a group project.

I'm hoping not to have too a demanding role when the advanced project comes up in the Autumn and they're obviously going to choose those who they think will be best suited to each role as it's too big a module to mess up.
