UK Eurovision World Exclusive!

Ken talks to this year's UK Eurovision entrant James Newman and has the world exclusive first play of James' song. After last year's Eurovision in Rotterdam was cancelled because of the pandemic, it's back in the same venue this year with most countries sending the same contestant - although many with brand new songs.

Ronan Keating, chart-topping singer songwriter and TV and radio presenter, picks his penultimate Tracks of My Years. Since the original break-up of Boyzone, one of the most successful British bands of the Nineties, Ronan has forged a hugely successful solo career: two back-to-back No.1 singles straight out of the gate, 30 consecutive Top 10 singles, 10 studio albums, multiple tours, 20 million records sold on top of the 25 million sold with Boyzone.

Last July, twenty years after the release of his self-titled debut solo album, Ronan returned with his brand new long player 'Twenty Twenty'. For some of the tracks Ronan called in a few of his celebrity friends including Country music superstar Shania Twain who lends her vocals to 鈥楩orever And Ever, Amen鈥�, 鈥楾he Big Goodbye鈥� 鈥� written in memory of his Boyzone band mate Stephen Gately - he's joined by good friend Robbie Williams and Nina Nesbitt duets with him on 鈥楾he One鈥�.

Ronan is also a regular guest presenter on The One Show on 麻豆约拍1, and co-hosts a show on commercial radio.

The next two tracks he has chosen come from Pavarotti and George Michael. Ken also has your love song dedications plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
