Big Weekend Primer Timetable Puzzle Denchfield has apparently got hold of a timetable from the silburngriggs website. Here's his page:
http://pauldenchfield.typepad.com/paul_denchfield/2007/05/challenging.html
The timetable itself can be found at:
http://www.silburngriggsmining.com/projectfia/db2902f7-c011-419f/primertimetable-1.pdf
I've looked at it, and:
On the Thursday the 17th page, there are some letters which are underlined. They are:
eaogengntabakl
Anagram, perhaps?
EDIT: On the Wednesday page 'live music from' is also underlined, just incase it's relevant.
[Edit - Despoilerised - no need to spoiler stuff that's not a final solve or would ruin a puzzle for someone. This is more general info that you've posted for the good of all, have despoilerised below also, just helps keep things readable- MikeyJ ]

I tried to find a group name that fitted the letters, but my knowledge of the groups of this era is sketchy to say the least so had to give up!
None of the other anagrams made much sense, so over to the more knowledgeable.

I suggest you email that to paul, sounds like as good a bet as any other at the moment.

An anagram that uses all of the letters is:
GO GET A BEANSTALK
Don't know whether it means anything but the project FIA site has just mensioned a group called Just Jack playing this weekend, a coincidence?

Sounds too real to be a coincidence, can't be a bad idea to email paul with it

So me an kksweety did what it said.
We went to a beanstalk (Just Jack). He was on Sara Cox's show on Sunday just gone. You can find evidence of this on your timetables. They discuss not alot, but she does challenge him to write a song for them to be performed next saturday on HER radio show. NOT at R1BW.
Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?radio1/cox_sun
Time: 41 Minutes in.
This, as far as ive found is the last time we heard live form Just Jack.
Chris.

I got that extra N, too.
Time to run the anagrams again!
Quote:
go agent beanstalk
began to take slang
began onstage talk
agent began, so talk
began angel; ask tot
began angel; to task
a blatant geek song
a knot set; lag began
began net talks; go A
agent, go; A blankets
let's gag a banknote
a long basket agent
tables taken; go nag
a battle snake gong
a tablet; ask Gongen
get a long tank base
Ken lost a beta gang
...
...
Head... hurting...
Anyway key words I would look out for:
agent, talk, ask, angel, table, base, song, gone, onstage, set, go, began, taken, task
A little reassessment is indeed in order.

Yes, 'apparently'. I don't see how you get 11.45 from those letters, but maybe I'm just being dim.

You need to connect the underlined letters in each column on page 6 of the timetable in alphabetical order to reveal the time.

Gah! Don't you hate it when a puzzle's simpler than you think and you spend hours pursuing a far more complex solution.

So now we have to disrupt the transmission somehow by sending messages to Radio 1. Their generic text message number is 81199 if anyone needs it, and Jo Whiley's e-mail is jo.whileySPLATbbc.co.uk or you can use this link:
