Edith Bowman (Radio 1, Celebrity
Fame Academy, Glastonbury) and Dougie Anderson (RI:SE,
That's So Last Week, Glastonbury) will join forces to present Â鶹Éç Scotland's
2005 coverage of prestigious music festival T
In The Park (Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 July).
Ìý
Once again, Â鶹Éç Scotland is back to pitch its tent at
T In The Park, with Edith and Dougie presenting a mixture of live broadcasts
of key performances and exclusive onsite interviews - ensuring armchair
music fans don't miss out on all the festival action from Balado, Kinross.

Radio 1 DJ Edith is looking forward to another year
of festival fever: "For me it's almost like a homecoming getting back
up the road for T In The Park.
Ìý
"Such an important date in the diary and I'm over
the moon, and just a wee bit excited, to be covering the festival for
Radio 1 and Â鶹Éç Scotland.
Ìý
"Over the past 11 years it's grown to levels that
have the biggest bands in the world vying to play. Whenever I speak
to any musicians about T, they always speak with such enthusiasm about
the event and in particular the Scottish crowd who some see as the best
audiences in the world. I'd have to agree."
Ìý
Dougie adds: "Having presented T In the Park for several
years, the bands that are attracted to the festival seem to get stronger
and stronger every year.
Ìý
"Not only do we have established bands like New
Order, Super Furry Animals and Snoop
Dogg, we've also got some of the best new bands performing
- such as the Futureheads and Sons and Daughters.
Ìý
"On top of that, the return of The La's
is a personal high point. I am thoroughly looking forward to presenting,
and coupled with the fact that I'm doing it with Edith makes it very
exciting as we're good friends and music soul mates."

live music acts across ten stages in one unforgettable weekend.
