Radio 2 Piano Room: Jalen Ngonda

Jalen Ngonda steps up to the mic for Piano Room Month alongside the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra. Plus more music quizzing in Ten To The Top.

In the third week of Radio 2鈥檚 Piano Room month, Jalen Ngonda performs from the Maida Vale studios, accompanied by the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra.

Each weekday from Monday 29 January to Friday 23 February, 20 of pop鈥檚 finest artists will sing a new song, a classic track, and a cover version in Vernon Kay鈥檚 mid-morning show. The sessions will be live on Radio 2 and 麻豆社 Sounds and will be available to watch on 麻豆社 iPlayer later each day.

Jalen Ngonda says, "I'm really excited to have been asked to perform a Piano Room session for Radio 2. It鈥檚 an amazing opportunity to play some of my own songs and a cover in a different way with my band."

And double Michelin star-holding chef Tom Kerridge chooses his Tracks Of My Years. Tom divides his time between his four restaurants and appearing on TV shows like The Great British Menu, Saturday Kitchen and Bake Off, as well as his own shows, Tom Kerridge鈥檚 Proper Pub Food, Spring Kitchen with Tom Kerridge, and Tom Kerridge鈥檚 Fresh Start.

Tom's latest project is the return of his music, food and drink Festival 鈥楶ub in the Park鈥�, which heads to Marlow, Chiswick, Reigate and St Albans this summer. This summer's line-up includes new chefs, new restaurants, new drinks and new experiences, and there'll be live music from the likes of Van Morrison, Busted, McFly, Paloma Faith, Sam Ryder, Gabrielle and Olly Murs.

Tom's next two choices are from Soul 2 Soul and Nirvana.

And there鈥檚 Record and Album of the week and more gems from the 麻豆社 Archives in Vernon's Vault.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and there's also the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top. To apply to take part, send an email to TTTT@bbc.co.uk.
