Rick warms up for Radio 2 in the Park by picking the music that has defined his life.

Fresh from a triumphant Glastonbury appearance, Rick warms up for Radio 2 in the Park by picking the music that's defined his life: Sinatra to The Smiths, AC/DC to Calvin Harris.

Ahead of his performance at this year's Radio 2 in the Park in Leicester, Rick Astley shares the songs that have been the soundtrack to his life. From the singer his dad loved, to the performers he thinks are truly the best, to an AC/DC song he learned to the play the drums to! With music from artists including Frank Sinatra, The Smiths, Calvin Harris and Biffy Clyro, this is a wonderful hour of music and chat in the company of Rick Astley.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
