Go to www.radiotimes.com Select: Radio > Tomorrow (18 April) > Chris Evans (Radio 2) From the Radio Times website page for April 18 - referring to Chris Evans taking over the drive-time slot as from tomorrow - April 18: "The announcement earlier this year that Chris Evans was to move into the drivetime slot vacated by Johnnie Walker unleashed a torrent of outraged letters to Radio Times magazine and gave certain newspapers yet another chance to take a pop at the broadcaster. Give the man a break! "His Saturday afternoon show for Radio 2 has been a revelation, a real return to form and there's no denying that, when it comes to full-on, live entertainment, Chris Evans is the shiniest star in the radio firmament. This new run sees many of the elements of Walker's show left untouched - such as the business, travel and sport news - but it will mainly focus upon upbeat music to get you home in a good mood. "Today sees the launch of a competition to fly to Minneapolis to watch Prince in concert, in his own living room. The radio event of the year - don't let the prejudiced anti-Evans voices persuade you to miss it." It's previously been circulated that the big announcement is that the BBC has a purple ticket giveaway. (The article writer above probably didn't realise that Prince has been based in LA rather than Minneapolis for his 3121 parties - unless the location for the purple ticket perfromance is now MPLS after all?) .

I wonder if it will be a phone-in type of event? I never do those - but for a chance at that ticket, I think I just might! | |

ah Chris Evans....Prince once took back Evan's invite to the Gold Experience (or Freedom Party...I cant remember) because he was rude about him.
Still showed up on TFI friday when he needed Rave propotion though | |

Still showed up on TFI friday when he needed Rave propotion though I heard that Prince was supposed to appear on Evan's radio show when he was on Virgin radio, quite a scoop, but Prince pulled out and Evan's had a go at him on the radio about it. But yeah, he did perform on TFI Friday so I guess all was forgiven... | |

[Edited 4/17/06 10:55am] I definitely heard somewhere that the performance was supposed to be at Paisley Park, I thought that's where it was being held for sure.. but maybe not. | |
