James Blunt performs live at Maida Vale for Radio 2's Piano Room Month accompanied by the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Concert Orchestra. He's the final artist of the week to join the station's biggest celebration of live music in a decade with 20 of pop's best-loved artists performing live each day throughout February. Other artists still to come include Jamie Cullum, Ed Sheeran, Simple Minds and many more.

James first rose to fame in 2004 with the release of his debut album 'Back to Bedlam', achieving worldwide fame with the singles "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover". He's just released a special greatest hits album - 'The Stars Beneath My Feet (2004-2021)’ - in which he celebrates songs spanning a stellar 17-year career that has spawned over 23 million album sales, a global smash hit with ‘You’re Beautiful’, two Brit Awards and two Ivor Novello Awards, as well as receiving five Grammy Award nominations. The album also includes four new songs including 'Adrenaline' which was Radio 2's Record of the Week at the end of last month.

In addition to all the live broadcasts, an hour-long special will be broadcast on Radio 2 each Sunday from 7pm until 8pm featuring highlights from the previous week's performances.

Radio 2 delivered live music to listeners throughout the lockdown with House Music sessions - launched in 2020 - featuring some of the biggest names in music, including Rag N Bone Man, Barry Manilow, Melanie C, Cliff Richard, Ronan Keating, Travis, Aloe Blacc and Nell Bryden, with many accompanied remotely by the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Concert Orchestra.

Ken also has your love song dedications plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
