Hello stackoverflowers:)
"Date":"\/Date(1340550000000+0100)\/" Is what i receive from the json server. 
now at the moment when i get information i'm using this code
 success: function (json) {
               //var json = $.parseJSON(data);
               for(var i =0;i < json.results.length;i++) {
                 var title = json.results[i].name;
                 var venue = json.results[i].venue;
                 var date = json.results[i].date;
                var button = "<button class='btn btn-info' data-url='"+(i+1)+".html'>Link</button>";
                 $("#apple").append("<tbody><tr><td>"+title+"</td><td>"+venue+"</td><td>"+date+"</td><td>"+button+"</td></tr></tbody>");
ideally i'm wanting to replace var date = json.results[i].date; with the unix date as a readable format, ( can get it in in its current format just its not very readable:)
Thanks
