Ronan Keating and Art Garfunkel

Ronan Keating performs live with the 麻豆约拍 Concert Orchestra as part of Radio 2 House Music and Art Garfunkel picks the Tracks of My Years from an interview first broadcast in 2012.

Ronan Keating, singer songwriter and broadcaster, performs live with the 麻豆约拍 Concert Orchestra as part of Radio 2 House Music. As a solo artist, Ronan has sold over 20 million records worldwide alongside the 25 million records with his former group Boyzone. Today he will be performing the much-loved classic "When You Say Nothing At All" plus his new single "Little Thing Called Love", a folk-influenced pop track taken from his new album, "Twenty Twenty" due out on 24th July. Previous House Music sessions include singing superstar Barry Manilow from his home in Palm Springs, Nell Bryden in New York, Richard Marx from Malibu and Jason Mraz from his front room in San Diego California.

Art Garfunkel chooses the Tracks of My Years in an interview first broadcast in 2012 at the time his compilation album "The Singer" was released. Spanning a life鈥檚 body of work from the first Simon & Garfunkel album of 1964 ("Wednesday Morning, 3 AM") through 2007鈥檚 Great American Songbook album ("Some Enchanted Evening") and continuing with two newly recorded performances for this release ("Lena" and "Long Way 麻豆约拍"). "The Singer" includes every UK number one and US solo hit; 鈥淎ll I Know,鈥� 鈥淏reakaway,鈥� 鈥淚 Only Have Eyes For You,鈥� 鈥淢y Little Town鈥� (with Paul Simon), "(What A) Wonderful World鈥� (with Simon & James Taylor), 鈥淏right Eyes鈥� and more. In addition to curating "The Singer", Art provides his own personal track-by-track annotations, which appear in the booklet in his handwritten form. The notes are as unique as the man himself. The voice and soul of a true American poet have illuminated the work of Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Art Garfunkel for nearly five decades. It is there on record--the Simon & Garfunkel LPs of 1964 to 1970 on Columbia, and his deep catalogue as a solo artist starting in 1973 (the first six albums also on Columbia)--as well as in film, and on the printed page (his 1987 collection of prose poetry, "Still Water"). Art's next two chosen tracks come from The Beatles and Bob Dylan.

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