Jason Donovan and John Wilson
Michael welcomes singer Jason Donovan and arranger John Wilson to the studio.
Michael Ball presents a brand new show featuring listener interaction, great music and special guests.
This week he's joined by Jason Donovan. This year has seen Jason tour the UK for his Ten Good Reasons and Greatest Hits tour. He performs two of his old favorites live in the studio and looks back on his career, from Neighbours to his West End success.
John Wilson also joins Michael in conversation. John is an acclaimed arranger of iconic film scores and a main staple of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Proms. Together with his John Wilson Orchestra, he is famous for performing the classic arrangements of MGM favourites such as High Society, Singin' in the Rain and The Wizard of Oz. He looks ahead to this year's Proms and chats to Michael about his new live album, Gershwin in Hollywood.
