In the first of a new run of Radio 2 Piano Room performances, James Bay performs from Maida Vale studios, giving us three specially arranged tracks with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra.

James is a Brit Award-winning and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter who we know for huge hits like Hold Back the River, Let It Go and Wild Love... as well as his unmistakable choice of headwear! To date, James has released three acclaimed albums, supported the likes of The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, and is set to release brand new music this month.

Plus, actor Robert Carlyle continues his musical journey, choosing two more of his favourite songs in Tracks of My Years.

There's also the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top, a brand new Record and Album of the Week, and we go diving into the archives for Vernon's Vault.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you: email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
