The Big Day In: Jacqui Abbott and PopMaster

The Big Day In continues with another round of PopMaster, the Tracks of My Years with Jacqui Abbott and Richie Anderson's Roll Call for Key Workers.

The Big Day In continues with another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and Richie Anderson's Roll Call for Key Workers. It's all ahead of the Big Night In for Comic Relief and 大象传媒 Children In Need tonight at 7pm on 大象传媒 One.

Plus Jacqui Abbott, The Beautiful South singer, and one half of Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, picks the Tracks of My Years, with songs from The Carpenters and U2.
Jacqui grew up in St. Helens, Merseyside, near Liverpool. She was discovered by The Beautiful South co-founder Paul Heaton. He invited her to audition and replace Briana Corrigan in the band. She was successful and toured with The Beautiful South for 6 years (1994-2000). In that time she featured on many of their classic hits including 'Rotterdam', 'Perfect 10', 'Don鈥檛 Marry Her' and 'Dream A Little Dream'.
In 2011 Jacqui reunited with Paul Heaton, to star in his musical 'The 8th', which examined society's wicked ways through the seven deadly sins. Different singers represented different sins - Jacqui was envy.
In 2014 Jacqui and Paul released their first studio album together - 'What Have We Become?', which was then followed by a second album in 2015 - 'Wisdom, Laughter and Lines'.
On 6th March 2020 Jacqui and Paul released their first UK No.1 album, 'Manchester Calling', produced by long time collaborator John Williams.
To coincide with the album's release; Paul, Jacqui and the band will be embarking on a UK tour in October and November. On 13th October they will play a free concert for all NHS workers, at Motorpoint arena in Nottingham.

There's also the record and album of the week.
