Beverley Knight, Tom Chaplin and Peabo Bryson Will Lead 'Friday Night Is Music Night' Shows At The London Palladium

BBC Radio 2's Friday Night Is Music Night, the world's longest-running live orchestral radio programme, will celebrate the life and music of three of the most enduring artists of our time next month, with a string of special concerts at The London Palladium.

Backed by a 24-piece orchestra, Tom Chaplin, best known as frontman of beloved British band Keane, will take the stage to perform the songs of Queen, multi-Grammy-winning US soul star Peabo Bryson, whose new album Stand For Love is out now, is paying homage to Barry White, and platinum-selling Beverley Knight celebrates the songs of Stevie Wonder.

The concerts are being recorded for broadcast in January 2019.

Beverley Knight:

"To be given the opportunity to perform songs by Stevie Wonder, one of my lifelong idols, with an incredible 24-piece orchestra accompanying me, is a true honour and I'm counting down the days!".

Tom Chaplin: "Despite having sung the songs of Queen my entire life, matching the intricacy and brilliance of these great tunes is going to require a lot of hard work! But as Freddie sings in We Are The Champions - "I consider it a challenge before the whole human race that I ain't gonna lose!""
