Where I've been hiding #1: 1xtra at the Electric Proms

So the last few weeks have been eventful to say the least, I've been mostly in the Roundhouse Studios working on our daily live shows for the Electric Proms last week which saw Robbie's come back concert, Dizzee pioneering urban musics shift into the mainstream complete with an orchestra, and living legend Shirley Bassey taking to the stage like only she knows how.

Dizzee's 1xtra take over on Wednesday was prob the most packed day, N dubz made it in for a Q & A with us 18-25s involved with the Roundhouse. I've never been particularly impressed with them and to be honest went along to fill up a seat, but they really blew me away with their hilarious manner! Apart from being complete jokers, they told how they'd made it from Haverstock school down the road by basically having a pretty serious work ethic. The line "trust I know how it feels to not be able to afford a sandwhich" kinda stuck with me and I have this new found respect for these guys! If that sorta thing tickles you, you can see the full Q & A here.

Also interviewed newcomer Bluey Robinson on our show, apart from being rather easy on the eye this guy has an amazing voice and was ridiculously humble. Saw him in all his glory at the 1xtra after party, he was Ronnie Heral's one-to-watch, where he covered Stevie Wonder- feeling it so much his sunnies and hat managed to escape him mid set! Others included a live DnB set from Blame which was pretty special, and live sets from "when-I-say-trainers-you-say-crepes" grime trio Marvell.

..Oh and saw Dizzee too, who smashed sterotypes by covering Nivarna but only had one dance move poor guy! Check out pics below...
