Shane Filan, the Irish singer and songwriter performs a brand new track, a Westlife classic and an exclusive cover live in the Radio 2 Piano Room. He found fame with the multi-million selling band Westlife, achieving 44 million record sales; fourteen chart-topping singles and four gargantuan homecoming shows in Dublin's Croke Park. Since the end of the group Shane has released two solo albums and gone on to be a successful artist in his own right continuing to tour the world. He's now back with a brand new album 'Love Always' which features a compilation of some all-time classic love ballads alongside new original songs.

Christopher Timothy, the actor, director and writer who is best known for his roles in All Creatures Great and Small and Doctors is choosing the Tracks of My Years with songs from Katy Perry and Bobbie Gentry. He's also recently appeared in West End theatre productions including The Living Room, The Hot House and Hobson's Choice. Christopher is now part of the EastEnders family on BBC One, starring as Ted Murray, alongside his on screen wife Joyce played by Maggie Steed. In the soap Ted and Joyce have been married for nearly sixty years and although they have lived in Walford all their life, their move this year to Albert Square is not solely their choice as they are being rehoused from a nearby estate. 

Plus Ken has the PopMaster music quiz, the daily love song with your dedications as well as the record and album of the week.
