Radio 2 Piano Room - Sugababes

Comeback queens Sugababes perform live alongside the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra for Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2023. Plus, there's another thrilling edition of PopMaster at 10:30.

Comeback queens Sugababes perform live alongside the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra for Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2023.

One of the most successful girl groups of the 21st century, Sugababes had six number one singles and two number one studio albums during their initial run. After a few line-up changes the original trio got back together in 2012, but it was only last year the comeback really gathered pace.

Keisha, Mutya and Siobhan sold out a UK-wide tour and put on a memorable performance at Glastonbury. In 2023, they have an Australian tour on the horizon and a headline date at London’s O2 arena in September.

Radio 2 Piano Room Month sees an abundance of world famous award-winning artists gather to perform exclusively with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra, and each artist will be performing three tracks - a new song, one of their well-known tracks, and a classic cover version from another artist - with members of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra accompanying.

Plus, iconic soul singer Madeline Bell chooses the Tracks Of My Years all this week. A member of the 60s and 70s pop group Blue Mink, Madeline’s almost as well known for her time as one of music’s most in-demand backing singers - Serge Gainsbourg, The Rolling Stones, Donovan and Dusty Springfield have all utilised Madeline’s talents.

Madeline joins Ken ahead of her special 80th birthday concert at London’s Cadogan Hall on Saturday 18 February, which sees Matthew Jones conducting the English Chamber Orchestra alongside Madeline.

Madeline’s final two choices are from Bill Withers and Kiki Dee.

Plus, Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's Love Song. There's also the Record of the Week.
