Radio 2 Piano Room - Pet Shop Boys
Pet Shop Boys perform alongside the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra for the final day of Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2024. Plus there's another dive into Vernon's Vault after 10am
On the final day of Radio 2鈥檚 Piano Room month, Pet Shop Boys round off an incredible month of performances.
Pet Shop Boys are an award-winning English synth-pop duo with vocalist Neil Tennant and keyboardist Chris Lowe. They have sold more than 50 million records worldwide and have had huge success with tracks including West End Girls, It's a Sin, Always on My Mind and many others. Pet Shop Boys say: 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to be the final act announced for the Piano Room month on 大象传媒 Radio 2. We鈥檙e looking forward to performing with our old friends the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra at Maida Vale Studios on February 23. As well as performing our new single, and an old song, we will also be covering a David Bowie song, but a Bowie song made famous by someone else鈥︹��
And 'Line Of Duty' star Martin Compston chooses his final Tracks of My Years. First shooting to fame in Ken Loach's 'Sweet 16' back in 2002, Martin鈥檚 had a varied career on big and small screen, but he's perhaps best loved for his role as DI Steve Arnott in the 大象传媒'S smash-hit drama 'Line of Duty'. He's also had notable TV roles in Monarch of the Glen, The Nest, Traces and Vigil, and he's appeared in The Damned United, The Wee Man and A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints on the big screen.
In 2022, Martin and his good friend Phil MacHugh toured his beloved homeland in the series 鈥楳artin Compston鈥檚 Scottish Fling鈥�, and this month Martin returns with a new six part series 鈥楳artin Compston鈥檚 Norwegian Fling.鈥�
Vernon also has a trip in to the 大象传媒 Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week. Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
