Featuring live music from Sir Elton John

Ken has live music from Sir Elton John's soundcheck at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Theatre, ahead of his gig for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2, plus Bonnie Tyler picks more Tracks of My Years.

There's live music from Sir Elton John for his soundcheck at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Theatre ahead of this evening's intimate gig for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2. Plus husky Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler picks two more favourite songs in the Tracks Of My Years. Today she chooses a very understated duet by Freddie Mercury and operatic soprana Monserrat Caballe that became the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's theme song to the 1992 summer Olympic games. Bonnie also plumps for a Willie Nelson cover of a Beatles song with Willie's version being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. There's more love song dedications and the midweek round of the music quiz PopMaster.
