I'm just about to join my Radio 1 colleague Jason Carter in the rooftop restaurant at Pacific Quay. It's just us two and, oh, about a hundred other invited guests for the official launch of the Radio 1 Introducing stage which, for the first time, will be at the T in the Park festival this weekend.

It's part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ commitment to supporting new and emerging talent on the music scene. It's the kind of music that Vic Galloway features on his Radio 1 and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland shows every week of the year.

Tonight's gathering will include magazine and newspaper reporters and and lots of people drawn from the arts and music scenes in Scotland.

I've just noticed that the restaurant tables have been decorated with little pairs of wellie boots.

Someone has been looking at the weather forecast, it seems.

POSTSCRIPT

All seemed to go well including a fantastically energetic performance from the Young Fathers (above). I think I might have offered to crowd-surf through the gaggle of reporters just before someone suggested it was time for me to leave the building and get back to Inverness.
