BBC Radio 2 - The Michael Ball Show, Rodrigo y Gabriela

This week Michael welcomes Rodrigo y Gabriela and Shane Richie into the studio.

This week Michael hosts On The Ball and will be playing a few tracks from this weekend's Family Album.

This Sunday Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela will be performing in the Musician's Circle. The pair have been releasing music for almost 20 years and are over in the UK touring their 5th album Mettavolution. They'll be telling Michael all about their new music and how they manage to fuse hard rock with nuevo flamenco.

Shane Richie will also be popping by the studio on Sunday to see Michael. The EastEnders star has the lead role in the revival of John Osborne's 1957 play, The Entertainer, and has just begun it's UK wide tour.  He'll be talking to Michael about the new production as well as his iconic role as Alfie Moon and what it's like having been in EastEnders for 17 years.
