Ken has live music from Sir Elton John's soundcheck at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Theatre, ahead of his gig for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 2, plus Bonnie Tyler picks more Tracks of My Years.

There's live music from Sir Elton John for his soundcheck at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Theatre ahead of this evening's intimate gig for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 2. Plus husky Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler picks two more favourite songs in the Tracks Of My Years. Today she chooses a very understated duet by Freddie Mercury and operatic soprana Monserrat Caballe that became the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s theme song to the 1992 summer Olympic games. Bonnie also plumps for a Willie Nelson cover of a Beatles song with Willie's version being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. There's more love song dedications and the midweek round of the music quiz PopMaster.
