Bob Harris took over the reins of Radio 2's Country Show an incredible 25 years ago this week on 8th April 1999, so there is a very special edition of show lined up tonight. It’ll be full of surprises and delights that Bob doesn't know anything about...

Today, Country music is the fastest growing genre in the UK, and no one has done more to bring that about than broadcasting legend Bob Harris. He's been at the forefront of the genre and ahead of the curve for a quarter of a century now, bringing people such as Taylor Swift, Luke Combs, Kacey Musgraves, Morgan Wallen and Ashley McBryde to UK airwaves for the very first time.

Join Bob tonight as he celebrates this amazing legacy – on what is also his birthday - and looks forward to the next 25 years... Who knows what you're going to hear next!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
