Christmas Morning Live
Bring some sparkle to your festive celebrations by joining Petroc Trelawny live on Christmas Day for uplifting seasonal music, studio guests and listener requests.
Whether you鈥檙e celebrating with family or spending the time on your own, your host, Petroc Trelawny has assembled the perfect selection of festive guests to brighten and enliven your morning with great music and heartwarming moments, including conversation with his special guest, pianist Stephen Hough, and music from the award-winning folk trio, Granny鈥檚 Attic, and jazz stars Ian Shaw and Ella Hohnen-Ford.
As well as featuring music that celebrates the Christmas traditions around the globe, Petroc will be playing personal favourites such as Vaughan Williams鈥檚 Fantasia on Christmas Carols and Handel鈥檚 Messiah, and listeners will be able to message the show to request seasonal music of their choice for their Christmas morning.
Plus, a series of specially-commissioned readings from celebrity Christmas diaries give an insight into Christmas鈥檚 past and present featuring well-known actors including Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton), Alex Jennings (The Crown), and in the best traditions of present-giving, there will be a surprise or two.
