Bono on Radio1 On Christmas Day

[pgv]

I heard on bbc radio one before that they are airing an interview of Bono by Jo Whiley on christmas day at 7pm. There aren't any details on the website yet (I don't know if the interview will be live or not.. I doubt it.) but on Scott Mills' show they were advertising it as 'a christmas treat for all u2 fans!'

(I had absolutely no idea where to post this thread )

I wonder if they may announce a new album and tour , sorry im jumping the gun.

Here's the Radio 1 web page. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/index.shtml?logo

Normally you can listen to the show live on here. The top is always what is playing now, and there is a listen now button! Hope that helps

Radio one is the best, redhotswami , you have to listen to it!
I just happened to be listening to scott mills again (my mum shouted me to turn it on because they were playing window in the skies..)
and he said 'christmas day - we have a big treat for all u2 fans, jo whiley having a chat with her bessie bono. believe me its going to be good!'
yet its still not on the website

 

[redhotswami]

Thanks so much Anji & Emma! Now I've got another fun overseas radio station to listen to besides LiveIreland

 

[Greenlight]

Thanks Partygirlvox. I don't think Bono has given a solo interview in the UK for ages. What a great Christmas pressie I checked the RadioTimes website and it contains the following info about the programme:-

It's 30 years since 14 year old Larry Mullen Jr posted a notice on his school bulletin board seeking musicians for a new band. From those modest beginnings, U2 have grown to become one of the most enduring and popular rock acts in the world. In an exclusive Radio 1 interview, Bono reveals the secrets of their success, and chats about the past, present and future.

 

[susanp6]

emmerdale , cant wait

you mean that or is that sarcasm, i'm wondering

 

[pgv]

Thanks for finding that greenlight!
I'm a big radio one listener, and Bono gave a solo interview to edith bowman on there a while ago. He sounded quite tipsy and I think it was during the Q awards, just before u2 were due to fly out to australia.

 

[susanp6]

I heard that when Edith was talking to him PG!

He did sound quite tipsy&yep, he did say they were leaving straight after for Oz i actually then realised that they'd be up in the sky for Larry's birthday

Oh I missed that. I can't think when he last did a long solo interview in the UK though that was pre-arranged.

Something tells me that Bono is a very funny man when he's drunk

Greenlight, Bono did a short phone interview with radio1 in december last year, to reflect on their achievements with Live8, MPH, One and such

I wonder what would happen if the plane U2 travels with suddenly didn't have any alcohol aboard.... PANIIIIIIIIIC in the air!

 

[susanp6]

yes i think i did hear his comment about Air Ireland PG

And yes Vaz, i can't wait for Tom King to get what he deserves either, the swine! it's gonna be a cracker!

 

[cobl04]

Any Aussie fans here know how I can listen? I think ABC is our equivalent of BBC...

 

[Slapnutz]

Cool. He did a Christmas Eve interivew with Whiley in 96/97. Very funny, and when Radio 1 used to be aimed at a somewhat intelligent audience rather than 13 to 18 year old chavs with Lily Allen posters.

Woah dude, thats a bit strong! Yes radio 1 now have ridiculous set lists and hardly any indie/rock bands get played. But it's hardly aimed at 13 to 18 year old chavs.
And excuse me with the generalisation, but I'm by no means chav and I like Lily Allen.

I also like it when jo whiley interviews Bono - they must be friends, because they always seem so at ease with each other.

Shouldn't it be starting , isn't it already 7pm in London ?

 

[TheQuiet1]

Yes it is but it's still Christmas Eve here in the UK; the interview is on Christmas Day. Don't panic- you're not missing anything!

 

[J_NP]

Oh Right Forgot , Sometimes I think when it's written Xmas day , I think about the celebrating day , which would be 24

Talkin bout any info there , whether will be a u2 show or a only Bono interv ?

I dunno. Sorry. But if I had to guess I'd say it'd just be a Bono interview.
