Live music this morning comes from Elvis Costello who, ahead of a brand new album, will be performing his new single as well as one of his classics.
Currently on his 'Hello Again' tour in America, in January Elvis releases - alongside The Imposters - 鈥楾he Boy Named If,鈥� his 32nd studio album, which is preceded with the release of new single 鈥淢agnificent Hurt.鈥�
Since being forced to cut short a U.K. tour, Elvis has released the album, 鈥楬ey Clockface鈥� and the subsequent French language E.P., 鈥楲a Face de Pendule 脿 Coucou鈥� - featuring the voices of Iggy Pop and Isabelle Adjani.
In the last twelve months, he has also completed 鈥淗ow To Play Guitar & Y," a comedic, 鈥淲ords & Music鈥� production, and released the lavish vinyl box-set edition of the 1979 album, 鈥淎rmed Forces鈥�.
Plus Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran chooses the Tracks of My Years all this week. In October Duran Duran released their fifteenth studio album, 'Future Past', from which Radio 2 play-listed the single 'Anniversary', which was written in celebration of 40 years since the band's debut album.
Simon and his band mates have had a busy year - they recently performed two intimate shows in their home town of Birmingham, closed this year's Isle Of Wight Festival before taking part in the Global Citizen Live's star-studded event at the end of September. The 24 hour global production included two huge concerts in London and Los Angeles featuring performances in London from Kylie Minogue, Nile Rodgers, Chic and Rag 'n' Bone Man - all from a spectacular location.
The next two tracks Simon has chosen come from Stereo MC's and Reel 2 Reel. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk
