Great Northern Playlist

OJ Borg presents The Great Northern Playlist, chosen by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Local Radio listeners and recorded by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Philharmonic.

The Great Northern Playlist is made up of ten new orchestral arrangements of iconic songs from the North of England, including Tainted Love by Soft Cell and She’s Electric by Oasis. The songs have been nominated by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Local Radio listeners and recorded remotely in lockdown by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Philharmonic.

In the first hour, ten ´óÏó´«Ã½ Local Radio stations in the North of England will join Radio 2 for a simulcast programme presented by OJ Borg. It will include performances of all the arrangements, plus live link-ups with presenters from each radio station – from Merseyside to Humberside, from Newcastle to Sheffield.

OJ will continue the celebrations in the second hour, playing additional tracks from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Philharmonic that have been recorded in lockdown, along with highlights from their previous Radio 2 concert performances.
