Richard Allinson bravely sits where Ken Bruce usually does and nurses you through New Year's Day. British jazz giant Jamie Cullum chooses his final two songs in Tracks of My Years.

Happy New Year! Richard Allinson prepares for Ken Bruce's return on Monday by trying to recapture Ken's inimitable style. Or in layman's terms: playing the wrong jingle during the travel. The marvellous Jamie Cullum explains his final two choices on Tracks Of My Years. Today he talks about a performance that made him very nervous and song where it all started for him. Not to be missed!
