Elbow perform in the Radio 2 Piano Room and it's Olivia Colman vs Jessie Buckley on Ten To The Top

Elbow perform with the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Concert Orchestra for Radio 2 Piano Room Month, and it's Oscar winner Olivia Colman vs Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley in a Ten To The Top celeb special.

In the final week of Radio 2’s Piano Room month, Elbow perform today. Guy Garvey, who will be performing a cover version of a Louis Armstrong song, says, “Elbow are overjoyed to once again be joining the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Concert Orchestra, who helped the band achieve their favourite ever concert at Abbey Road Studio 1 in 2009. We will have something old, something new and a cover which is very deeply personal to me.â€

And it's Oscar winner Olivia Colman vs Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley in a Ten To The Top celeb special! Olivia and Jessie star in the new British comedy 'Wicked Little Letters', which is out in cinemas on Friday 23rd February. When people in Littlehampton - including conservative local Edith (Olivia) - begin to receive letters full of hilarious profanities, rowdy Irish migrant Rose (Jessie) is charged with the crime. But suspecting that something is amiss, the town's women investigate.

'Line Of Duty' star Martin Compston chooses his ten favourite songs in Tracks of My Years all this week. First shooting to fame in Ken Loach's 'Sweet 16' back in 2002, Martin’s had a varied career on big and small screen, but he's perhaps best loved for his role as DI Steve Arnott in the Â鶹ԼÅÄ'S smash-hit drama 'Line of Duty'. He's also had notable TV roles in Monarch of the Glen, The Nest, Traces and Vigil, and he's appeared in The Damned United, The Wee Man and A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints on the big screen.

In 2022, Martin and his good friend Phil MacHugh toured his beloved homeland in the series ‘Martin Compston’s Scottish Fling’, and this month Martin returns with a new six part series ‘Martin Compston’s Norwegian Fling.’

Vernon also has a trip in to the Â鶹ԼÅÄ 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 tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
