1 week to go!!

21st May 2014

Simon Grundy in the morning

Here’s what you missed........

If you didn’t notice, I was off at the start of the week and returned today after what can only be described as an unbelievable weekend of birthday celebrations in London. Free champagne, karaoke, secret cinema, Ricky Gervais, Harry Potter tour, friends, family, laughs and sunshine.....next year has a lot to live up to! I’d also like to say a huge thanks to all you lovely listeners who got in touch to wish me Happy Birthday.

Even though I was at work on my birthday I was spoilt rotten! Apparently nobody wished footballer Yaya Toure a ‘Happy Birthday’ when it was his which he doesn’t seem happy about! We wanted to know what happens at your workplace when it’s your birthday. Some places seem to be very generous; Yasmin who works at B&M in Houghton was treated to flowers and a tannoy announcement on her 30th and Jules was spoilt rotten with banners, balloons and chocolates, which is amazing considering she works on a team of 17 men!

I’m pleased I came back today as Sam Smith was on the show having a chat with Simon and I about his new single ‘Stay with me’ going straight to number 1. He was absolutely lovely, so pleasant and chatty. He was in a very good mood as he’d just been told that his single ‘Leave your lover’ had gone straight to number 1 on the American iTunes chart! He’s only 22 and he’s achieved so much already. Don’t worry if you missed it you can catch it now on our Listen Again page.

The countdown has begun for the One Direction concert........1week today!!!! Check out our Twitter page to see Niall at the stadium in his very own SAFC kit, that’s right, they were here yesterday rehearsing! Tune in tomorrow to see if we play those 2 One Direction songs for your chance to win tickets!!
