BBC Radio 2 - The Michael Ball Show, Tony Hadley and Barbara Dickson

This week Michael welcomes Tony Hadley and Barbara Dickson into the studio.

This week Michael hosts On The Ball and will be playing a few tracks from this weekend's Family Album as well as inducting another songwriter into his Hall of Fame.

Singer Tony Hadley will be performing live in the Musician's Circle this week. Rising to fame in the 1980s with new-wave group Spandau Ballet, Tony's career has spanned almost 40 years and this year has released his album Taking To The Moon. He'll be popping by to see Michael before he goes on his U.K. tour.

Also joining Michael is singer and two-time Olivier Award winning actress Barbara Dickson. Barbara has released countless albums, her first being in 1970, and had her biggest musical success with the U.K. number one duet with Elaine Paige, 'I Know Him So Well'. Barbara is currently touring in the production Far, Far From Ypres and will be going on a tour with her band early next year so will be telling Michael all about that.
