Britpop trailblazers Suede play live alongside the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra for Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2023, performing three songs including a Patti Smith cover.

Dubbed by Melody Maker as the Best New Band in Britain in 1991, within a year they had scored a number one with their self-titled debut album, and went on to win the Mercury Award.

To date, the band have had nine top ten singles include Animal Nitrate, Stay Together and Trash, and after more than 30 years together they're still going strong. Last September they returned with a new album Autofiction, before embarking on a co-headlining tour of North America with Manic Street Preachers.

Radio 2 Piano Room Month sees an abundance of world famous award-winning artists gather to perform exclusively with the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra, and each artist will be performing three tracks - a new song, one of their well-known tracks, and a classic cover version from another artist - with members of the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra accompanying.

Plus, actor Mark Bonnar chooses his Tracks of My Years with Ken all this week.

Known for his roles as Duncan Hunter in Shetland, DCC Mike Dryden in Line of Duty and Chris in Catastrophe amongst others, Mark can currently be seen in The Rig on Prime Video, alongside Martin Compston and Iain Glen. This summer, Mark returns as Max in series three of the Bafta award-winning Guilt on 成人快手 Two, plus he'll be starring alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Ridley Scott's Napoleon biopic.

Mark's next two choices are from Pink Floyd and Adam and the Ants.

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's Love Song. There's also the Record and Album of the Week.
