Friday Night is Music Night - Kerry Ellis, Collabro and the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra join Dick and Dom for a special family concert on the theme of big adventure stories.

Friday Night is Music Night - 500 Words - Dick and Dom's Big Adventures

In the week of the launch of the 500 Words short story competition for 2017 - another chance to hear a special 500 Words concert first broadcast after last year's final.

Suspense, excitement and faraway lands. Stories of swallows, amazons, pirates and superheroes. Dastardly villains, loveable rogues, Famous Fives and Secret Sevens. What is it about a gripping tale of derring-do that we love so much? This evening's Friday Night is Music Night recalls the adventure tales we loved as children as interpreted by the world's greatest composers in music.

The 成人快手 Concert Orchestra is conducted by Stephen Bell and perform music inspired by The Hobbit(JRR Tolkein), The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(Mark Twain), Peer Gynt(Ibsen), Harry Potter(JK Rowling); James Bond(Ian Fleming) as well as comic book superheroes Batman, Superman and Tin Tin.

Guests include West End leading lady Kerry Ellis and singing sensations Collabro(Michael Auger, Richard Hadfield, Jamie Lambert, Matthew Pagan and Thomas J Redgrave)

Tonight's musical bibliophiles are Dick and Dom(aka as Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood). They are currently celebrating 20 years as children's presenters - starting out on C成人快手 in 1996 and picking up a clutch of Baftas for programmes such as their Saturday morning series Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow; Diddy Movies, Diddy TV; Splatalot and The Legend of Dick and Dom . Their science entertainment show 'Absolute Genius' which won them the BAFTA for best presenters is now filming it's fifth series.

The concert was recorded at the Hackney Empire in front of a family audience. Concert first broadcast in May last year

During the interval there's another chance to hear the winning stories from the 2016 500 words competition - as announced on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Chris Evans.
