Hi All,

After last week’s last minute cancellation of the show we returned this week for one final time before the summer holiday and the last show to broadcast within the student’s union.

So as this is Pure Dance, playing the best of dance music from the last 25 years.

We kicked off as always with the current UK Dance Chart, giving you a run-down of the 40 biggest dance singles in the UK for the week ending 29 May 2010. As-well as this we played the top 10 dance singles in its entirety. So this weeks chart looks like this:

    01. GOOD TIME – Roll Deep
    02. STEREO LOVE – Edward Maya feat. Jigulina
    03. ACAPELLA – Kelis
    04. MEMORIES – David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi
    05. HOT – Inna
    06. CRUSH – Fugative
    07. NOT GOING HOME – Faithless
    08. SPLASH – Sub Focus
    09. ROCK THAT BODY – The Black Eyed Peas
    10. ON & ON – Agnes

After the UK Dance Chart and taken us up to the start of the second hour we played ‘IN THE AIR’ by TV Rock feat. Rudy and ‘BIG SKY’ by John O’Callaghan.

From 8pm, we played our feature ‘Pure Dance Through the Years’ where we played a number of dance hits consecutively from 1985 to 1999. Here is the list:

    1985: NINETEEN – Paul Hardcastle
    1986: WE DON’T HAVE TO TAKE OUR CLOTHES OFF – Jermain Stewart
    1987: C’EST LA VIE – Robbie Nevil
    1988: BUFFALO STANCE – Neneh Cherry
    1989: GOOD LIFE – Inner City
    1990: WORLD IN MOTION – England New Order
    1991: JUSTIFIED AND ANCIENT – K.L.F. feat. Tammy Wynette
    1992: SOMETHING GOOD – Utah Saints
    1993: PHOREVER PEOPLE – Shamen
    1994: CARRY ME HOME – Gloworm
    1995: I NEED YOUR LOVING – Baby D
    1996: THERE’S NOTHING I WON’T DO – JX
    1997: YOU’RE NOT ALONE – Olive
    1998: TREAT INFAMY – Rest Assured
    1999: LOUIE LOUIE – The Three Amigos

Thanks for listening to Pure Dance and we will be back in September. Until then hope you all have a good enjoyable summer.

And the next time we’ll be broadcasting another Pure Dance will be in a new location so it’s also goodbye to the student’s union building, which is getting demolished!

Goodbye from Have You Heard – but just till after Summer :-)

Category : Shows

Well its now come to our last show and we couldn’t have gone out on a better one to be honest. Even though there were a few technical difficulties with the music, it was an awesome show to finish on. The topics we covered today were the events unravelling in Jamaica, concerning the drug world. We covered the Facebook privacy story and how it can affect the range of people: from children to adults and the rights we have as a user of this social network. Our last world story was concerning the situation between North & South Korea, and how communication between the two has deteriorated to a state of non-existence.

In UK news we focussed on BT and the strikes that may take place and how the company is coping throughout the recession. It was established that since it became a privatized company they have had few walkouts/strikes. However the company feels it necessary to see what abilities they have within the organization and how well they are being used. Our second UK story was how London was the only UK city to be in the top 50 cities that have a good quality of living. This was discussed by myself and Lindsey where we came to the conclusion that if more work was put in, hopefully by next year we will have more UK cities and more of a chance of getting to the top of the list :D

In local we reported how one of the many brave soldiers, is being flown home to his home to Anglesey after being hit by a car in Helmand. The story developed into the fact that even though most soldiers lose their lives during combat there are still those that die from tragic accidents, whilst doing a job that they feel passionate about.

In the entertainment part of the show we looked at the tragic death of one of the main members of Slipknot whilst recapping on the sad passing’ of so many celebrities both young and old. We then went onto discuss the new Sex & the City movie which has caused quite a stir within its reviews. Some say that it goes against muslim beliefs and that it does not show a correct interpretation of the life that exists within parts of the Middle East

For all our stories we use confirmed sources such as BBC and Sky News. Therefore if there is anything here that grabs your attention and you wish to know more on, those websites should be your first port of call.

We hope you have had as much enjoyment listening to Have You Heard as we have had hosting it and hope to see you all on the other side of summer, ready for the next academic year!
