On Monday morning a news broadcast at 8.30am announced that "David Cameron" has died in a mistake by a newsreader after the story just came out that David Bowie died that morning. 

The shocking news of the singer David Bowie that died shocked the world and must have shocked the newsreader Fiona too on Heart Scotland's Breakfast show to make the mistake of announcing that Prime Minister "David Cameron has died" instead of David Bowie but then corrected herself and said it was David Bowie that died. An easy mistake to make as it was sad day across the world for music lovers. 
Listen back to the moment below in the news bulletin broadcast on Scotland's Heart Radio station.

Today on Chris Moyle's Show on Radio X a rude word was said by the host as he was discussing the current series of "The Voice UK". 

After discussing the new series of "The Voice UK" this morning on Radio X, Chris Moyles dropped the F bomb during the live broadcast after referring to a "big 22 stone fella".
He then apologized after getting carried away as he didn't realize what he said as Dominic had to stop discussion when it was said and followed an apology from Dominic and Chris. 
Listen back to the moment when it happened on Wednesday mornings show or you can also listen back via Radio X's website or mobile app.

All Tickets for U2 Shows in Belfast And Dublin Sell Out in Less than 40 Minutes

9/25/2015

It's been one of the highly anticipated shows of the year as U2 return to Northern Ireland with sold out shows this November. There has been such a huge demand for these tickets as the band bring their European Tour to Ireland this November. 

The band confirmed earlier this month that U2’s INNOCENCE + EXPERIENCE European Tour 2015 will finish with six home shows in Ireland – two shows in Belfast on 18th & 19th November and four shows in Dublin on 23rd + 24th, 27th + 28th November. Tickets were priced from £30 to £165 for Belfast and from €30 to €185 in Dublin, plus charges. 

Ticketmaster had announced that its six Irish dates announced for November would be sold only online and that the only places where it will be possible to buy physical tickets will be at the 3Arena and SSE Arena box offices.

In an email to ticket outlets, Ticketmaster wrote:

“ In the interest of public safety, your safety and that of your nearby businesses, it has been decided that it would be unwise to have the public queue in the streets for this reduced number of tickets.”



Those who bought standing tickets will receive paperless passes, requiring ticketholders to bring photo ID and the credit/debit card with which the tickets were purchased to the venue where they will be scanned.


It’s a year since the band released Songs Of Innocence, an album exploring their earliest experiences of growing up in Dublin influenced by 70’s rock and punk and early 80’s electronica – and now they’ll be performing those songs to a home crowd for the first time.The Edge said that finding venues to take this show is actually ‘quite tricky’.

“We’re grateful to our overworked crew who finally cracked the reconfiguring to fit these venues.”
Picture
The band will play Belfast's newly revamped SSE Arena on Wednesday 18th September and Thursday 19th September with two huge shows lined up in Belfast. It's been nearly a decade since the band played in the city so it's gonna be a night not to be missed out on.
Also they play Dublin's 3Arena on Monday 23rd, Tuesday 24th, Friday 27th and Saturday 28th November.

Florence And The Machine Hits Belfast's SSE Arena

9/16/2015

By Andrew Stewart

It was a night of new beginnings in Belfast, for both artist and venue, as Florence and the Machine kicked off her How Big How Blue How Beautiful Tour by becoming the first music act to perform at the newly revamped Odyssey Arena, or SSE Arena, as it’s now known.


There are now digital TV screens at the entrance and a VIP bar in the concourse. I was standing, so I didn’t get a chance to see what the new seats were like in the arena.



One major negative was having to queue for five minutes in order to get a wristband to walk the long way round to go to the toilet. Instead of having security hand out wristbands (not sure why they are needed in the first place), could they not just give them to people to put on themselves?

This gig was Florence’s first of the tour, though she has been performing at festivals throughout the summer, most notably, headlining Glastonbury as a late replacement for Foo Fighters, when Dave Grohl was incapacitated by a broken leg after jumping into the crowd.

It is an occupational hazard that Florence is well aware of, having been in plaster for the early part of this year after a similar mishap.

This gig was mishap free, well, until she accidentally knocked a speaker over a security guard during Dog Days. Thankfully, the security guard didn’t appear to be hurt.

Picture
Her band, one by one, walked on stage, but no Florence, she waited and built the tension. Big and dramatic is what she does. Throughout the night, you could the thunderous rhythm of the drums in each song, sounding more intense live than they do on record.

She later told the crowd that she had planned on having a choir on stage with her, but the stage wasn’t big enough.

She began by performing What The Water Gave Me and Ship To Wreck. Quite apt theme given The Odyssey’s close proximity to Belfast’s shipyards.

Florence is no stranger to Belfast, but was last here performing at Tennent’s Vital in 2012, as well as previous appearances at Belsonic in 2010 and an Ulster Hall gig in 2009.

She arrived in Belfast straight from Electric Picnic in Loais and had spent a few days in the city, and had spent the night before in a “Traditional Music Pub”, which turned out to be Kellys Cellars. 

Florence is either everywhere or nowhere, she disappears for a while, and then just comes back. At the moment, she is everywhere.

Picture
As her current rate of albums is one every three years. She might not be in Belfast again until 2018. Florence, and the crowd, were determined to make the most of each other’s company.

She was everywhere on the stage, running about from side to side of the stage, and dancing. I say dancing, it was mainly jumping up and down and pirouetting.

Inbetween songs, Florence stated that she was on her own musical Odyssey, nicely linking to her adding that she is now playing The Odyssey.

It’s seven years since her first hit Kiss With A Fist (which wasn’t played), and she is now at the stage where she has had “a lot of hits”

All the biggies were there – Ship To Wreck, Shake It Up (my own personal favourite), Rabbit Heart, You Got The Love, Spectrum, Dog Days, Drumming Song, What Kind Of Man.

It was a night when everybody in The Odyssey (SSE Arena) was at some point singing, dancing or clapping along. At some point, doing all three.

There were a few objects thrown from the crowd. Nothing unsavoury, just a bra. Someone also made a flag for Florence, which she accepted and waved on stage. Must be a first for Belfast to see a flag universally cheered.

It’s fair to say, that Florence and her machine, were fully functional. Belfast looks forward to seeing her again in 2018. Or earlier, if she fancies.


Here's one of the tracks she performed Ship To Wreck. We look forward to more huge gigs in SSE Arena.
