Contemporary artist, writer and broadcaster Grayson Perry chooses his Tracks Of My Years all this week.

As a Turner Prize and Bafta-winning artist, Grayson has become famous around the world for his ceramic vases, printmaking and tapestry, and his 40 year contribution to the arts resulted in him being awarded a knighthood earlier this year.

Throughout the global pandemic, Grayson challenged the creative side of the  public to "have a go yourself", and Grayson’s Art Club aired each week from his studio. The art created was displayed in a public exhibition and the programme won the Arts and Presenter's Award at the 2021 RTS Programme Awards.

As a broadcaster, he's starred in many documentaries on Channel 4, including all In The Best Possible Taste, Born Risky, Divided Britain and The Big American Road Trip.  

Grayson has recently embarked on a UK tour for 2023 called 'Grayson Perry: A Show All About You', and he promises to reach 'most corners of the UK between now and its conclusion at the end of November. 

There'll also be more audio nuggets as we dive in to the BBC Archive in Vernon's Vault, plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top and a brand new Record and Album of the Week. 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.
