Manic Street Preachers ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖcoming

In a special gig for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 2 In Concert, Manic Street Preachers return home to perform at the Blackwood Miners Institute in Wales, with new and classic tracks, plus footage of the band in their home town with Jo Whiley.

Nicky Wire from the band says: "It has been nearly 25 years since we have played in our home town of Blackwood. We are thrilled and excited to be returning to a venue where we have spent many hours honing our snooker skills – but this was before it became a live venue. It will be the smallest gig that we have played in a long time which will no doubt lead to chaos, severe nerves but hopefully a night of home-town ecstasy."

Watch highlights from the concert and exclusive moments from the Manics as they return home on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Red Button from 10pm on Friday 28 January (times vary on Freeview).

The new Christian O'Connell show on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 5 Live (Saturdays, 9-11am) starts on Saturday 15 January, with Lenny Henry as a guest. The show runs until the end of May 2011.

Nuzzle & Scratch

Younger viewers can press the red button to play a quiz featuring that fun-loving furry duo, Nuzzle & Scratch.

It's just for fun but viewers can play again and again to improve their score.
