Jo Whiley presents yet another intimate night of live music from The BBC Radio Theatre.

Stepping to the stage this evening is Noel Gallagher. The creative force behind Oasis, a band formed by his brother Liam, they went onto score 8 UK number one singles, 8 UK number one albums and defined the world of Britpop in the 90s. At the time, Noel penned a vast number of classic hits including Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova.

However the band split in 2009 and since 2010 Noel Gallagher has been working alongside his High Flying Birds, but for this performance he returns to the Radio Theatre to perform an acoustic set of songs from his back catalogue and second solo album Chasing Yesterday, another number one album released earlier this year and one that has seen him gain further critical acclaim and collaborate with former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.

The programme can be heard live on BBC Radio 2 and the Red Button.

A seasonal special episode with a sack load of 80s Christmas classic videos, including Wham's Last Christmas and Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas.  Plus Sara Cox will be Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree with one of our favourite festive females: Kim Wilde!
 
Sara and Kim reminisce about Kim's Comic Relief Christmas single from 1987, when she teamed up with the late comedian Mel Smith. They also chat about her new Yuletide album and the reworking of Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree with Nik Kerhsaw. On a train! The song is set on a train, not Sara and Kim!

Other videos of wintery wonder include David Bowie & Bing Crosby's Little Drummer Boy, Run DMC's Christmas in Hollis and Shakin' Stevens' Merry Christmas Everyone.  Sara also takes us back to mid-December 1980 for the Top 5 from that week.  

And what's this? Is Sara being replaced by our very own glamourous Christmas elf? What on earth would Father Christmas say?!
