Simply Red perform live alongside the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra for Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2023, with a special Paul McCartney cover among the three-song set.

Simply one of the biggest-selling music acts of all time with 60m albums sold, Mick Hucknall's group have been part of the British musical landscape since the mid-80s thanks to hits such as Holding Back the Years, Fairground and If You Don't Know Me by Now.

Plus, naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham chooses his Tracks of My Years with Ken all this week. Chris began presenting the award winning Really Wild Show in 1986, and he's now the host of the Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch series for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. Chris also presents notable natural history series such as Nature’s Weirdest Events and Secrets of our Living Planet.

In 2017 Chris first shared his autistic diagnosis on TV, and his new two-part documentary, Inside Our Autistic Minds, sees Chris working with four autistic people and taking a deep dive into their minds, immersing himself in their everyday experiences, observing and learning about the ways they sense and interact with the world.

Chris's next two choices are from T-Rex and David Bowie.

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's Love Song. There's also the Record and Album of the Week. If you want to contact the show, just email - ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
