The Shires and Sinitta

This week Michael welcomes The Shires and Sinitta into the studio.

This week Michael hosts On The Ball and will be playing a few tracks from this weekend's Family Album as well as inducting another songwriter into his Hall of Fame.

This Sunday Michael is welcoming back The Shires into the studio. The British country singer-songwriter duo is made up of Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes and they've set the U.K. country scene on fire since starting out five years ago. They'll be performing two songs live in the Musician's Circle.

Also joining Michael is iconic popstar Sinitta. Sinitta is synonymous with 1980s pop however she's not coming to the studio to sing she's now releasing an autobiographical book. She'll be telling Michael all about it...
