Radio 2 Piano Room - Shed Seven

Britpop icons Shed Seven perform as The Radio 2 Piano Room returns for a run of summer performances. Also, bestselling author Marian Keyes picks her penultimate Tracks Of My Years.

Britpop icons Shed Seven perform from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Maida Vale as Radio 2's Piano Room returns for a run of summer performances.

Having released their first single in 1994, Shed Seven became one of THE best-loved bands of the BritPop era, with a string of hit singles and best-selling albums.

They split in 2003 but reformed in 2007, and this year, their latest album, 'A Matter Of Time', went to number 1 - the first time they've achieved that in their 30-year career.

To mark three decades in the industry, the band are heading out on a UK tour in November and December, and they'll be playing two homecoming shows in York this summer.

Playing alongside the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra, Rick Witter and the boys will play a classic song, something new, and an unexpected cover.

Also, author Marian Keyes - who has has just published her latest best-seller, 'My Favourite Mistake' - chooses her penultimate tracks from her 10 favourite songs in Tracks Of My Years.

There'll also be more audio nuggets from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Archive in Vernon's Vault; there's Record and Album Of The Week and and two more contestants try their luck in the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.

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
