Tamzeezy Takes The Helm!

Mornin all!

A very excitable Tamara here, and it was my first day actually controlling the desk! You might not have noticed the difference since there’s no webcam, but I moved from my producer seat to desk driver seat. One of the many things I love about BANG, you get the chance to learn and develop so many skills, I couldn’t imagine even a week ago that I could be driving the desk.

We kept it moving with some great tracks, particularly a household favourite the “Migrane Skank”… notice how every track includes the word “skank” these days! Hope you were all skanking at home and loving the beats.

We announced that Anthony Hamilton will be right here at BANG Radio HQ tomorrow night, Wednesday 1st April on The JumpOff with D’Nyce between 7pm-9pm (Seriously - this isn’t an April Fool)!

Make sure you listen in to this exclusive interview with the Grammy award winning superstar, and if you’re lucky enough, you could even win yourself tickets to see him live at the Indigo2 this Thursday 2nd April! Tickets are still available online for the show for those of you who aren’t so lucky to be winners. Go to www.theindigo2.co.uk for more details!

Catch you tomorrow for an exclusive giveaway… you got to listen to find out what!

Mornin all!

Tamara and “Tee Bizzle” (name for the week!) tucked into a huge dose of entertainment news, gossip, daily headlines and of course UK PRESSURE! We opened the show by giving you tracks from three British male talents, Young Nate, Taio Cruz and Lemar.

How was your weekend? Did you get tripped up with the clocks going back? Did you check out the Vitality Show? The Images of Black women Festival? The Trey Songz and J holliday Concert? If you DID and didn’t get the chance to take part in the show today we’d still love to hear from you; you can post a comment at the end of this blog and let us know and give you shout outs during the show!

One headline that stood out was www.affluence.org, which has been dubbed “Facebook for the filthy rich” - listen in to find out what it is and hear the likes and dislikes about Facebook! Alongside this was talk of Shilpa Shetty being in talks to join the cast of Eastenders, listen to hear more!

Jennifer Hudson… we salute you! Who else was there to salute? Listen in and keep listening this week for more salutations to our favourite celebs, near and far!

The Princess and the Frog, featuring Disney’s first African-American princess (voiced by Anika Noni Rose from Dreamgirls and ‘The Ladies No.1 Detective Agency’ fame) has been publicly saluted by Mel B, who also believes the film should have been made ages ago! Hear what Mel had to say about the controversy around Princess Tiana’s Caucasian prince, and the resulting news about mixed-race Britain.

The debate continues tomorrow!

On Yer Bike… NOT!

Hello, hello!

So I know last week I was bigging up the new show I’ve been broadcast assisting on – ‘Reinforced’ with DJ Virus (Wednesdays 12am -2am… if you didn’t already know, but I’m guessing you do as I’m sure you locked on!) and I promised that I’d let you know how I got on… that’s still coming – I’ve got something special planned for next weeks’ Blog!

But this week, I need to deal with a very important matter and I could do with your help, yes I’m getting SERIOUS, actually the word is DESPERATE…. this weekend, I am a very lucky lady and will be going away to Amsterdam, BUT we all know what happens in Amsterdam, don’t we??

Amsterdam is well famous for…. BICYCLES!!!! and I don’t know how to ride one . Yup, start bussing jokes, that I’m 23 and still can’t ride a bike – I’ve had it from everyone;  friends, family, even little kids laughing at me when I was ‘trying’ to ride one last weekend at the park.

No matter how dedicated to the cause I’ve been (practising once!), so far, I’ve had no such luck and terrified when someone lets go of the handlebars.  I ended up bashing into several walls, trees and people last weekend, not fun at all! So what am I going to do? Any suggestions? The thought of getting back on the bike that is currently residing in my corridor at home and waiting for me to use, scares me to death…

I don’t want more accidents ,and actually I think my ‘riding’ is more of a danger to everyone else, I can’t be doing this to the good people of Brent!

Help wanted please… only 3 days before I go and the last thing I want is to be riding around Amsterdam on a tandem – that would be even more embarrassing!
