This unique collection from BBC Radio 2’s most popular new music programme, highlights the incredible guest talent featured on the show. Stand-out performances like London Grammar’s hauntingly beautiful version of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game’, Hurts version of ‘Wonderwall’ and John Newman’s cover of ‘Sign Your Name’ are captured in this exclusive collection.

Dermot commented: “The thing I love most about doing the radio show is the combination of giving new bands their first session, and welcoming iconic acts and stripping down their performances. We love doing the show and pulling this together. We hope you do too.”
