Student Radio Awards 2008
Now that the broadcast has come to a close for the year we thought we could do with a pat on the back for all the good work. Presenters from across the station have compiled a record number of entries for this year's Radio 1 Student Radio Awards. The categories range from Best Specialist Music show to Best Scripted Programming, the winners of the awards will be announced in November at a swanky ceremony in London with Radio types from across the country doing the judging between now and then.

Aftermath of Subcity at the West End Festival
Once again, Subcity managed to not only justify the hype, but unite children, dogs and clubbers alike with their stage at last Sunday's West End Festival. Lilybank Gardens was transformed into a sweaty, throbbing mass, thanks to the hundreds of people who turned up to enjoy the station's finest DJ talent, a six-pack and some sunshine. Public appreciation of the day has been pouring in, so a massive thanks to everyone who turned up and shook that ass to help make it into the banging success it was.
See the day in pictures on Facebook here.
Or Listen Again to the hottest stage at the festival, in order of appearance:
Felonious Munk // Bogey Music
Rock Island Line // Vegas! // OOFT
Argonaut Sounds // Matt Lygate
Wee Cheesy // Shaun fae Solar // Full Phat
If you caught any of the Subcity party vibe, then
let us know how it was for you.
Special thanks to Philip Zambonini and to Graham Hendry at Tannoy for the best sounding PA at the festival.
