Football’s coming home – well it’s going to be coming to Alexandra Palace thanks to Absolute Radio.
While most of us aren’t lucky enough to be joining Baddiel & Skinner out in South Africa this Summer – why not cheer on our boys a bit closer to home! Absolute Radio has teamed up with Alexandra Palace to host London’s largest screening of each and every England game during the world’s biggest football competition!
The events will allow England fans to support England through the qualifiers by joining 2,500 other England supporters in the fabulous West Hall at Alexandra Palace for London’s biggest screening.
The events will be proceeded with entertainment and atmosphere to help build up for the mighty matches including BBQ, bars, face painting, music and freestylers plus the chance to win £300 cash prize during each and every half time. We’ll also be playing highlights from the best of Baddiel & Skinner’s Absolute Radio podcast before each match.
There will be chances to win tickets on-air and online with Absolute Radio or you can purchase them here for £6.50 including admission, entertainment and a free first drink.
So for most of us who can’t make it to South Africa this summer (pretty much everyone at One Golden Square except for Frank and Dave), we’ll see you at Ally Pally this Summer to cheer on England!
Bon Jovi – When We Were Beautiful 28/06
This is the third single to be taken from Bon Jovi’s 11th studio album “The Circle”. The band complete the first leg of their tour across the US at the end of this week and are in the UK from the 7th of June for a 12 night residency at London’s 02 arena.
Mumford And Sons – Roll Away Your Stone 07/06
This is the fourth single to be taken from Mumford and Sons platinum selling debut album “Sigh No More.” Currently on a North American tour, the band return to the UK in mid June when they play Glastonbury and a whole string of festivals across the summer.
We’re only a few weeks away from the start of the biggest sporting tournament known to man, so it seems a good time to launch Baddiel & Skinner’s Fantasy Cup…
With Baddiel & Skinner’s Fantasy Cup, we’re giving you the chance to pick your ultimate team for this summer’s tournament. There is £4,000 up for grabs, and some of the best talent in the world for you to choose from. The game is free to play, and you can pick your team right now.
As with Rock and Roll Fantasy Football, we’re letting you pick two teams. Great if you can’t decide your formation, or don’t know whether to put your quota of Spaniards in defence or attack. Double the choice, double the chance at getting your hands on that £4k!
Recently there has been a lot of debate about Apple’s refusal to include Adobe Flash on their iPhone and iPad platforms. As a result of Apple’s decision, owners of some Apple products have found that the media-rich web is not as rich as it once was. Here at Absolute Radio, we try to deliver our digital media to as many people as possible in as many ways as feasible. Usually this means adapting and finding new ways to use emerging technologies.
So with this in mind and with the official UK launch of the Apple iPad approaching, OGS Labs is delighted to announce that all of our exclusive session videos, interviews, podcasts and radio streams are now available using HTML5 for your iPhone, iPod Touch and even your new shiny iPad. No plug-ins or apps to install. Just browse the Absolute Radio site and enjoy!
Award ceremonies these days are common place but none are so steeped in tradition, pomp and circumstance as the Absolute Radio Star. Nominated and judged by Absolute Radio peers, the fiercely competitive Absolute Radio Star celebrates the achievements and enduring hard work of One Golden Square staff members.
This time round the (massive) trophy was graciously passed on by previous winner Duncan Amey and awarded to the station’s well deserving Head of Legal Andrew Ryan!
Andrew has been at One Golden Square for about a year and has settled in extremely well, building up excellent relationships right across the company. He established himself as the first point of contact on legal matters., Andrew has handled numerous important legal matters in house rather than having to refer to external lawyers, most notably the sale of Golden Square Networks and (currently ongoing) negotiation of EPL rights –he was an integral part of our successful EPL bid team.
Andrew contributed significantly to our defence against the claim by Absolut Vodka of ‘trademark infringement’ and was heavily involved in negotiations for settlement of the Absolut Vodka case. And on top of all that Andrew was celebrated for the work he did on the festival contracts at exactly the same time as everything else.
Chris Goldson who headed up the judging panel for the Absolute Radio Star this time round had this to say: “I couldn’t be happier than to award Mr Ryan this enormous silver trophy. With his unending good humour and his winning, can-do attitude he really is a deserved winner!”
