David Gray performs live

David Gray performs live in the Radio 2 Piano Room and Rob Beckett picks the Tracks of My Years. Plus Ken has another round of the PopMaster music quiz.

David Gray performs live in the Radio 2 Piano Room with music from his brand new album, Gold In A Brass Age. It's David's first album of new material in four years and his eleventh album in his 26 year recording career. Work on the album began back in 2016 and it was written and recorded in several month-long spells between tours to promote 2016’s The Best Of David Gray, that included fifty dates in the USA, and a co-headline tour with Alison Krauss. David Gray’s first album, A Century Ends, was released in 1993, followed by Flesh in 1994. After touring with the likes of Radiohead and the Dave Matthews Band in support of his third album Sell, Sell, Sell, David decided to self-finance his fourth album which was called White Ladder and released on his own label, IHT Records, in 1998. He's since gone on to sell over 12 million albums and receive a BAFTA and Grammy nomination and win two Ivor Novellos.

Rob Beckett, the comedian and presenter who’s best known for hosting Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One’s hit Saturday night TV show All Together Now is picking the Tracks of My Years. Rob is also one of the hosts on this year’s live Comic Relief TV show on Red Nose Day alongside Emma Willis, Paddy McGuiness, Alesha Dixon, Romesh Ranganathan and Sir Lenny Henry. Rob is also a regular host on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One entertainment including the Saturday night hit All Together Now, which sees Rob and co-host Geri Horner help hopeful singers as they perform for The 100, a panel of singers from all across Britain. He’s also set for a brand new UK tour called Wallop at the end of 2019.

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the record and album of the week.
