Jess Glynne is the latest guest performing for Radio 2 Piano Room Month.

Jess Glynne joins Radio 2’s Piano Room today, performing from Maida Vale studios, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra. Plus another round of Ten to The Top.

In the third week of Radio 2’s Piano Room month, Jess Glynne performs from the Maida Vale studios, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Each weekday from Monday 29 January to Friday 23 February, 20 of pop’s finest artists will sing a new song, a classic track, and a cover version in Vernon Kay’s mid-morning show. The sessions will be live on Radio 2 and BBC Sounds and will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer later each day. 

Jess Glynne says, “It's such a privilege to be asked to perform at Maida Vale for Radio 2’s Piano Room month. Looking forward to singing in the iconic venue.”
Listen to and watch back on BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer the Piano Room performances from the previous two weeks from Bruce Hornsby, Beverley Knight, The Libertines, PP Arnold, Gabrielle, Anastacia, Olivia Dean, Johnny Marr, Rick Astley and Shaznay. Next week is Paloma Faith (Monday), Delta Goodrem featuring special guest Gary Barlow, (Tuesday), Elbow (Wednesday), Rod Stewart with Jools Holland (Thursday), with Friday’s final artist to be announced shortly.

And double Michelin star-holding chef Tom Kerridge chooses his final Tracks Of My Years. Tom divides his time between his four restaurants and appearing on TV shows like The Great British Menu, Saturday Kitchen and Bake Off, as well as his own shows, Tom Kerridge’s Proper Pub Food, Spring Kitchen with Tom Kerridge, and Tom Kerridge’s Fresh Start.

Tom's latest project is the return of his music, food and drink Festival ‘Pub in the Park’, which heads to Marlow, Chiswick, Reigate and St Albans this summer. This summer's line-up includes new chefs, new restaurants, new drinks and new experiences, and there'll be live music from the likes of Van Morrison, Busted, McFly, Paloma Faith, Sam Ryder, Gabrielle and Olly Murs.

Tom's final two choices are from The Verve and Sam Fender.

And there’s Record and Album of the week,and more gems from the BBC Archives in Vernon's Vault. Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and there's also the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top. To apply to take part, send an email to TTTT@bbc.co.uk.
