Craig David, British singer, songwriter, rapper and record producer, performs live in the Radio 2 Piano Room. He rose to fame in 1999, featuring on the single, "Re-Rewind" by Artful Dodger. Craig's debut studio album, Born to Do It, was released in 2000, after which he has released a further five studio albums and worked with a variety of artists such as Tinchy Stryder, Kano, Jay Sean, Rita Ora, Hardwell and Sting. David has 20 UK top 40 singles, and seven UK top 40 albums, selling over 15 million records worldwide as a solo artist. He's been nominated for 13 Brit Awards: four times for Best British Male, and twice received a Grammy Award nomination of Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

David Walliams, OBE chooses the Tracks of My Years with music from The Beatles and Louis Armstrong. David has many strings to his bow - he's an actor, comedian, writer and now a very successful author. He's arguably best known for his work with Matt Lucas on the hugely popular television series Little Britain. Since 2012 he has been a judge on the ITV talent show Britain's Got Talent. He wrote and starred in two series of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One sitcom Big School, playing the role of chemistry teacher Keith Church. In 2015 he starred as Tommy Beresford in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ series Partners In Crime based on the Tommy and Tuppence novels by Agatha Christie. To date he has sold more than 12.5 million copies of his children's books which have now been translated into 46 languages. He's been described as "the fastest growing children's author in the UK" and his literary style has been compared to that of Roald Dahl.

Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of Champions League PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk.
