Rap superstar Stormzy puts on a special performance to bring Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2023 to a close, with three exclusive songs including a very special Oleta Adams cover.

Hailing from Croydon in South East London, Stormzy's had major success with hits such as Big For Your Boots, Shut Up and Blinded By Your Grace as well as number one singles Own It, Take Me Back To London' and Vossi Bop, featuring Ed Sheeran.

Stormzy's 2017 debut album Gang Signs & Prayer became the first grime chart topper, and he repeated that number one success with the 2019 follow up Heavy is the Head. Stormzy's third album, This is What I Mean, released last November, features guests vocalists including Sampha and Jacob Collier, and also hit the number one spot in the UK Album Charts.

Radio 2 Piano Room Month has seen an abundance of world famous award-winning artists gather to perform exclusively with the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra, with each artist 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 John Martin and the Beta Band.

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.
