Hi from Producer Rachel

So the Radio 1 working teams have descended on the island for the Ibiza weekend 2010. That's production, press, sound engineers, website and live event teams. It's a tight ship with everyone working across the whole weekend. Becci (Assistant Producer), Rhys (Executive Producer) and I got the super-early flight from London this morning (Thursday) - wow it was tough getting up at 3.40am, I wasn't built for early mornings! Then today has been spent doing production meetings at various venues across the island including one just now at the Ibiza Rocks hotel, where we will be broadcasting Annie & Pete's shows from tomorrow night. We caught up with security, production, sound engineers and the venue manager to make sure everyone was happy with all the details, we also walked through the artist entrance to see how we are going to get people in and out of the venue tomorrow evening as we're expecting a huge turn out. The day before a big event such as this is always full of those tiny last minute details which we need to sort but as I write this I'm feeling hugely excited about Radio 1 in Ibiza 2010. I've been lucky enough to work at Radio 1's Ibiza events for the last 6 years and each time I get the same feeling of excitement with a few nerves thrown in too as it is literally the biggest and best weekend of the season. I feel very honoured to be involved. I'm already looking forward to that special 7pm moment when we press the start button on track 1 of the show tomorrow night and start Radio 1 in Ibiza 2010 as well as the weekend all around the world. Right now I'm going to watch the sunset before a chilled dinner and an earlyish night (always tricky in Ibiza!) as its a big big day tomorrow and I want to be on top form. Salut, here's to another year!
