Good morning from the beautiful Portsmouth waterfront home of Jinglemad Jingle Day 2014.

We’re on for a 1pm start here.

Looking forward to putting faces to names.

For those interested in seeing the event live on online, click http://www.southdown.tv from 1pm.

[gameswizardMember]

Hmmm… it looks like the stream’s gone down.

[Sean MartinMember]

Yep. I’m getting an error message when trying to access the stream
There’s now a message saying it’s being uploaded via 3G, but the videos will be available after the event.

That’s cool

[IainJohnston]

Shame the online video is down at present

Obviously the BMW being advertised on the SDTV page ISN’T one of the JingleQuiz prizes then!!!

Have a good time one & all

[gameswizardMember]

It’s been back online since around 16:20 – just watching Steve England. Very interesting.

[IainJohnston]

Great stuff Gents! And familiar faces there.

So we’ve got a streaming video link camera looking at a video link of Steve England on a laptop, with people in the room taking pictures of the video link…

Certainly beats the Arg/Iran footy right now on the “other channel”!

Applause all round gents for getting this all setup and working

The Chris Stevens lecture was great but have been able to view any of the others (Can you only view them “live”?)
Will you be posting the others on-line?

Just wondering of there’s anything happening in Pompey tomorrow? If there is id love to join you guys as I was too late for registering as work only told me Friday night I had the weekend off X(

[Dan Lodge]

Awesome day!

[jonnoMember]

not sure what if anything is happening tomorrow. i’ve used all my “brownie points” and will be spending tomorrow withy family.

Today was awesome and huge thanks to our guests and attendees who travelled considerable distances to Portsmouth.

typing this on my phone so apologies for amy spelling errors.

final thankyou to David for masterminding and making today happen and to Simon fot the tv cameras and web stream.

I salute you both !

[smiler]

Thanks for putting up the stream. I’ll try and make sure I’m around for the next one. It sounds like you had an amazing time guys! I’m looking forward to the videos coming up

[Prometheus]

Thank you everybody for what I believe was a great day in the Portsmouth sunshine.

For so many people to have travelled such a great distance, especially our guest speakers, I give my thanks for making it the success it was.

Chris Stevens’ presentation was superb, I think many of us learnt many new things in his well constructed, perfectly delivered piece. (I love the Jack stuff, but will be haunted by images of Chris in just a pair of golden pants).

Simon Prentice and Rob Wills’ excellent piece gave us a real insight into the challenges facing the jingle industry. “Because the owner likes it” is so painfully true and the “Z100 meets Magic” style will always make me smile.

Steve England proved yet again that he is a great storyteller and had the room captivated with his engaging hour, and had many jingle questions answered.

My thanks to everyone who contributed. Especially Jonno who put in a huge amount of unseen effort into ensuring yesterday’s success.

Congratulations to Dan Lodge and Robin Blamires on winning their prizes from iJingles. I will arrange a fair way of giving everyone on this forum chance to win the remaining prizes, soon.

Simon Hardwick’s Herculean effort of broadcasting the event live also needs more than a little thank you. The event, captured by Southdown TV will be available on their website soon: http://www.southdown.tv

Again, thank you to everyone who came yesterday to make the day entertaining, eventful and memorable.

Thanks David, Jonno and all the speakers…shame I couldn’t make it down there, but followed the proceedings when I could!

Some very fascinating facts were learned yesterday!

Much appreciated the chance to watch even for a short while before I “lost the signal”…

Is “wearing a plastic London Policeman’s Hat” Steve England’s equivalent to the Scots’
“See-You Jimmy! ” Ginger-Haired Tartan Bunnet

Well done to David, Jonno, Simon, et al (apologies for those names not known) for all the hard work

PS – the “other cameraman” & TV production bod from within our ranks appears to be currently “doing” a slightly further away “OB” at the moment…

Various photos on the left on his FB page (for those with access) of where “Scotron” has been bringing us all live coverage of the “footy” these past few days…

[RobinBlamires]

Again, well done to Dave’s Harber and Nightingale, and John for sorting yesterday out. Such an amazing location and with weather to match, and good to see the attendees getting that extra bit deep into their own jingle journeys.

If I’d had known, I’d have planned something myself! (Though it’s probably for the best I didn’t).

Also well done to messrs Chris Stevens, Rob Wills, Simon Prentice, and Steve England for their insightful contributions.

Really enlightening and prompted me to take notes!

Hopefully this will happen again sometime in 2015.

[Bigdave]

How do we better that?

Just on the way home to Sheffield,using the wifi on the train, but every credit must go to David and John for hosting what was the most technically advanced and ambitious Jingle Day ever. Having been present at the very first one, it’s grown from a few blokes in a pub at the bottom of Briggate in Leeds,to live streaming 3 camera coverage,via the internet, and contributors via Skype.

It was also great to see Simon,Rob,Chris,and Roy again for the first time in a while, Robin,David,Stacey (who finally got his hands on a CD he’s wanted for 20 years), and Graham, who’s contribution was both a real surprise and a fitting way to mark such a great weekend.

Where do we go next? That’s a tough one. What we’ll do next? Now that’s even tougher!

[jonnoMember]

Dave, great to finally meet you after all these years! Just been listening to your “Up Pompey” mixdown, great stuff and a perfect way to round off the weekend before putting out the television and turning off the cat for the night before I turn in

Iain and Linden and Mike, I think I promised you CDs if you want them? and it just so happens I have 3 copies remaining. If you do, please can you PM me your addresses? Cheers.

I will upload my montage to S/C soon for everyone’s listening pleasure soon.

Thanks to David H and Jonno for a great day in Portsmouth. Good to meet new Jingle Fans, and see people I’ve met at previous events. Well done to Simon H as well for the coverage, and for streaming against the coverage odds. I’ve been involved in Live radio broadcasts that have relied on public Internet, and it’s never predictably reliable, even with a recce. One one occasion someone had to drive an IP Satellite van overnight to rescue a live Breakfast Show TX that was to be broadcaast via 3G/wifi, and we didn’t have that luxury on Saturday. Looking forward to watching the presentations back later in the week.

A few photos here… I’ll leave these files here for a week or so…
