BBC Radio 2 - Ken Bruce, House Music with Travis

Travis perform from their separate homes as part of Radio 2 House Music.

Travis perform from their separate homes in both the UK and USA accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra as part of Radio 2 House Music. There's also another round of PopMaster.

Travis, the much-loved Glasgow rock band, perform two very special songs from their separate homes across the UK and USA as part of Radio 2 House Music. They will be accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra playing a track from their new album '10 Songs' and a classic as you've never heard it before. Travis have twice been awarded best band at the BRIT Awards and were awarded the NME Artist of the Year award at their 2000 ceremony. In 2016 they were honoured at the Scottish Music Awards for their outstanding contribution to music and are said to have paved the way for other bands such as Keane and Coldplay to go on to achieve worldwide success throughout the 2000s. They plan to be back on the road next year, all being well, with an extensive UK headline tour including a show at London's iconic Roundhouse in May. Previous House Music sessions include singing superstar Barry Manilow, Richard Marx, Kelly Clarkson, Jason Mraz and many more. You can watch all Radio 2 House Music sessions on the BBC Music YouTube channel.

Bruno Mars, American singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, chooses the Tracks of My Years in an interview first aired in 2013. It came at the time he'd recently released his second studio album 'Unorthodox Jukebox' which topped the UK charts and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2014. Bruno was also about to embark on his Moonshine Jungle UK tour where he was praised for his energetic and genre-jumping performances as well as his abilities on the drums, guitar and special effects.

The next two tracks Bruno has chosen come from The Bee Gees and Prince. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
