Jo Whiley brings you a 2Day show packed full of live music, and special guests Paloma Faith and Damon Albarn.
A regular voice on Radio 2, Paloma Faith made her debut on Dermot O'Leary's show in June 2009. She joined the station's line-up at the Blackpool Illuminations that same year and also collaborated with the Guy Barker Orchestra at the 2010 Cheltenham Jazz Festival.
Her debut album has since sold over half a million copies and earned the Hackney-born singer a nomination for Best British Female at the 2011 Brit Awards. She returns to perform a couple of songs, accompanied by Sir Elton John's piano, which was donated, and personally delivered to Radio 2 by Elton, for performances from established and emerging artists.
One of the most innovative musicians of the last two decades, Damon Albarn's work in bands such as Blur, Gorillaz and The Good The Bad & The Queen has created an impressively diverse back catalogue. Since Blur went on hiatus in 2003, Damon has gone on to explore a wide range of different musical genres and cultures, from collaborating with Malian musicians to writing his first ever opera - Doctor Dee - which debuted to critical acclaim at last year's Manchester international Festival. He joins Jo to showcase material from this Dr Dee album.
Jo is also joined by Radio 2 presenters Steve Lamacq and Huey Morgan in this jam-packed hour, and she tests your music knowledge with The Stack; that's three bits of music spliced and diced together. You just have to work out what the songs are, who they're by, and what connects them.
