Richard Madeley sits in for Simon Mayo on this May bank holiday, and he's joined by Katie Melua, who performs for Radio 2's Great British Songbook Library.

The Georgian-born singer reached the top of the UK album charts with her debut album and was Britain's best-selling female artist in 2006. Her fourth album, entitled The House, marks a new phase in Katie's musical career because it's produced by William Orbit, who's best-known for his dance re-mixes and work with Madonna. The album sees Katie writing on her own, as well as with Guy Chambers, Polly Scattergood and her long-time collaborator Mike Batt.
