Would the real Jeremy Vine please stand up?!

Ken pranks Jeremy Vine on April Fool's Day with a little bit of help from Lewis MacLeod! Plus Grace Chatto from Clean Bandit, chooses the Tracks of My Years, and there's PopMaster

Ken pranks Jeremy Vine on April Fool's Day with a little bit of help from Lewis MacLeod! Jeremy faded his microphone up for his usual two-way with Ken only to hear that he was already talking - or at least someone who sounded exactly like him was. Renowned impressionist and voiceover artist Lewis MacLeod wound up Jeremy - and Ken's listeners - by telling them about an EU ban on playing music from Europe, a dolphin placed in an airport to sniff out drugs, and a man from Exeter who had apparently never seen an episode of Eggheads!

Grace Chatto, cellist in the chart-topping band Clean Bandit, chooses the Tracks of My Years. Together with fellow members, brothers Jack and Luke Patterson, she won a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in 2015 for 'Rather Be' with Jess Glynne on lead vocals and was nominated for two Brit Awards in 2015 and 2017.

Last November, Grace performed on 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' as part of Radio 2's All Stars' Children in Need charity single. The song debuted at number seven on the Official UK Singles Chart and number one on both the Official UK Singles Sales Chart and the Official UK Singles Download Chart.

Grace is also on the renowned PRS For Music List which includes a hundred of the most influential female songwriters and composers in the UK. The 100 Women Changing Music chart, which is made up of PRS members, features the likes of Adele, Lily Allen, Dua Lipa, Jorja Smith and Annie Lennox. Nearly two thousand women registered to become members last year and almost two thirds of those who joined were under the age of 30.

The next two tracks Grace has chosen come from Counting Crows and Radiohead. Ken also has the daily love song and PopMaster. To get in touch email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
