Flashback to Summer Balls Past

Category : Shows

It was a sad time last night as we presented the last Flashback for this year, but we didn’t let that dampen the mood and had a bit of a party in the studio while playing out songs from headliners from Summer Balls past to warm you all up for this Saturday’s event!

The list of past headliners was found through not-so-secret sources and greatly impressed both me and Robyn. For such a small city and small university we’ve had some big name acts.  For this reason we here at Flashback would like to say a massive congratulations to the Union, past and present, for their commitment to giving us students a good send off every year.

Below is the playlist from tonight’s show, and although not a completely exhaustive list of the artists who have performed for our pleasure, it gives you a brilliant idea of the awesomeness of the Bangor Summer Balls. We urge you all to go to the ball on Saturday, if you don’t already have a ticket get to the union quickly as they’re almost sold out! It is always a great night out and not one to be missed!

Finally, Robyn and I would like to thank all our lovely listeners for tuning in over the past year and hope you’ll stick with us if and when we make our return to the airwaves next year. We’d also like to thank the Storm exec (past and present) for putting up with us and letting us on air! Have a great summer guys and we’ll see you all next year!

Playlist:

  • 2004: Girls Aloud – Can’t Speak French
  • 2005: Supergrass – Alright
  • 2006: Bodyrockers – I Like the Way
  • 2006: Fatman Scoop – It Takes Scoop (Pulled out last minute due to gastroenteritis)
  • 2007: Wheatus – A Little Respect
  • 2008: Athlete – Wires
  • 2009: Mystery Jets – Half in love with Elizabeth

Hey Guys!
Sorry for the long blog silence! Ali and I have been back the past couple of weeks with the usual cheesy and old songs and outrageous chat.
We kicked off the last half of semester with updates about the little celebration that was the Royal Wedding, and re- lived what we both got up to over the Easter break.
In terms of our random news updates, we found an article on the BBC about changes to the iconic New York taxis, which has led to the birth of the New York ‘van’, a massive change to what we are used to seeing.
We also have a set challenge for our listeners! If you tuned into last weeks show you would have heard us talking about the moustache and beard championships held in Norway. Our challenge is for anyone of our listeners to send in any photos they may have of an attempt to grow their facial hair for September. Up to the challenge?
That’s all from me for the time being. Good Luck to all those still with exams!
See you next Monday from 8
:)

According to some secretive schedule and various diary entries, Dark Legend should be launching tommorow afternoon (Thurs 19th) at 1:00! We also have a repeat on sunday.

To celebrate, the cast have come up with THE OFFICIAL DARK LEGEND DRINKING GAME (Honestly… that lot have spent more time in the pub than they have actually doing what they were supposed to during the last three months. ;p) The rules are simple.

  1. Pick a character from the list below. (If you’re an actor you must pick your own). Every time that character speaks you must drink.
  2. Every time the word “Gagging” “Gag” or “Desperate” is uttered, you must drink
  3. Every time two characters have a romantic entanglement, you must drink.
  4. Every time someone is punched in the face, you must drink.
  5. If a character is rendered unconcious/dies, you must down  your drink.
  6. Every time there is a manic laugh, you must drink.
  7. At the mention of Stephen Hawking, everybody must down their drink. The last person to finish must shot something of the other players choosing.
  8. Finally… When all is done, every player must toast to ‘Freedom’ and down their drink.

 

(Please remember to drink responsibly: www.drinkaware.co.uk)

The characters to choose from are: Will, Jo, Randy, Harris, Eliza, Greg, Doug, Dan, Harper, The Narrator, The Graffe.

There have also been rumours circulating regarding the remaining episodes… but we’re going to let these lie for the moment.

Below is our full credits as well as our recent photoshoot.
