Ken will chat to Sir Cliff and have the world-exclusive first play of his brand-new Christmas single.

Singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy - whose hits include 'Power Over Me' and 'Outnumbered' - picks his penultimate Tracks of My Years.

Hailing from Dublin, Dermot started his musical journey as a 10-year-old, but he only began to take it seriously in his teens when he started writing songs, eventually releasing the EP 'Dancing Under Red Skies' in 2013. In 2016, his single 鈥楢fter Rain鈥� found viral success, amassing millions of streams, and his 2019 debut album 'Without Fear' became a global success, reaching number one in Ireland and the U.K. It鈥檚 now sold over 1.5m copies and was the biggest-selling album of the millennium by an Irish artist.

His popularity grew in the late 2010s with 'Power Over Me' and 'Outnumbered'. In January 2020, Dermot was nominated for international Male Solo Artist of the year at the BRIT Awards. After appearing on the 2021 Meduza hit 'Paradise', he returned with the singles 'Better Days', which won the RT脡 Choice Music Prize Irish Song of the Year 2021, and 'Something to Someone', the lead single from his new album 'Sonder'.

He's just played a run of outdoor headline shows in Ireland to over 100,000 fans, and Dermot is also simultaneously busking across the world with his own 'Sonder Street Sessions'. Cities visited thus far include Mexico City, Toronto, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia.

Dermot's penultimate choices come from The Killers and Florence & The Machine. Plus, Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song.

There's also another play of the record and album of the week. If you want to contact the show, just email ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
