Radio 2 Piano Room: The Libertines

The Libertines - back with their first album in 9 years - perform for Piano Room Month alongside the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra. Plus there's more music quizzing in Ten To The Top.

The Libertines - back with their first album in 9 years - perform three songs live alongside the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra for Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2024.

First achieving fame - and notoriety - in the early 00s, the on-off band featuring Carl Barat, Pete Doherty, John Hassall and Gary Powell return next month with their first album in nine years, and just their fourth overall.

All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade has been preceded by the singles Run Run Run and Shiver, with recording taking place in Port Antonio, Jamaica and Margate, England. The group started a UK tour in January which continues right through to mid February, finishing in Glasgow's Oran Mor on the 16th.

Plus TV presenter Emma Willis - known for The Voice, Big Brother and The Circle - is Vernon's guest this week on Tracks Of My Years. Having first come to widespread attention hosting on MTV, Emma's impressive CV also includes This Morning, Britain's Next Top Model, CD:UK, Loose Women, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! NOW! and The BRIT Awards.

She's currently presenting 'Style It Out' on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ3, which sees nine creative fashion-loving kids from across the UK compete in a styling contest with sustainability at its core. The young designers will be hoping to win the chance to showcase their original creations at London Fashion Week. Resident judges include Ayishat Akanbi and Jorge Antonio, plus there's weekly celebrity judges including Gok Wan, Katya Jones, AnaΓ―s Gallagher and Molly Rainford.

There's also the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week. 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 TTTT@bbc.co.uk.
