Iconic 80s band Haircut 100 - who had huge hits with songs such as Love Plus One and Fantastic Day - perform for Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2023, including a Harry Styles cover.

With enduring songs such as Love Plus One, Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl), Nobody's Fool and Fantastic Day, Haircut 100 were one of the leading lights of British new wave in the early 1980s, and introduced the world to Nick Heyward.

Their debut album Pelican West propelled them to stardom around the globe, and despite the band breaking up only a year later, their popularity endures. In 2023, Pelican West is getting a super deluxe re-release, with a one-off London show from the band in May.

Plus, naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham chooses his Tracks of My Years with Ken all this week. Chris began presenting the award winning Really Wild Show in 1986, and he's now the host of the Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch series for the 成人论坛. Chris also presents notable natural history series such as Nature鈥檚 Weirdest Events and Secrets of our Living Planet.

In 2017 Chris first shared his autistic diagnosis on TV, and his new two-part documentary, Inside Our Autistic Minds, sees Chris working with four autistic people and taking a deep dive into their minds, immersing himself in their everyday experiences, observing and learning about the ways they sense and interact with the world.

Chris's next two choices are from This Mortal Coil and Idlewild.

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.
