Radio 2 Piano Room - Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott perform live from Maida Vale - accompanied by The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra - as the Radio 2 Piano Room returns. Plus there's Popmaster at 10:30.

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott perform from Maida Vale - accompanied by The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra - as the Radio 2 Piano Room returns for another very special event.

Following the success of Radio 2's Piano Room Month in February, and one-off performances in recent months from Craig David, Michael Buble, Sigrid and Paolo Nutini, former Beautiful South members Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott are the latest act to perform in Radio 2's flagship live music series.

Paul Heaton began his career as the frontman of The Housemartins, perhaps best known for their cover of β€˜Caravan Of Love’. He then formed The Beautiful South in 1988, who went on to release 10 hugely successful albums. Following the end of the Beautiful South, Paul Heaton worked as a solo artist before inviting Jacqui Abbott - one of The Beautiful South's female vocalists - to record some songs together.

A collaboration made in heaven saw them release several albums, as well as going out on tour together, playing live covering a mixture of new material, with added songs from both The Beautiful South and The Housemartins' back catalogue. All four of their albums have gone top 5, and in March 2020, the most recent LP Manchester Calling reached No.1.

Ken also has your love song dedications plus another round of the PopMaster Music Quiz. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk.
