This unique event is one of a series of live shows hosted by Radio 2 from Blackpool on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 September to celebrate the switching on of the world-famous Illuminations. Mika says: "'I can't wait to play for Radio 2 listeners in Blackpool. I love the seaside and Blackpool will be the perfect place to play live this wet summer – hopefully I'll get a chance to check out the Pleasure Beach whilst I'm there too." Other stars in town include Alan Carr, who is flicking the famous Illuminations switch and who will present his Radio 2 Saturday show Going Out With Alan Carr with co-host Emma Forbes from a Blackpool tram; Chris Evans who is presenting his Drivetime show live from the top of the Blackpool Tower; and JLS, Madness, Tony Christie and Paloma Faith, who, along with Pixie Lott will perform at an open-air Friday night concert Live At The Lights to celebrate the switch on ceremony. Paloma says: "There is something really romantic about the Blackpool Lights. I am so looking forward to singing in their shadows and dancing to the sound of the sea." Monday 10 August sees the first day of the ticket giveaway for a Friday Night Is Music Night broadcast. For more information on how to get a ticket go to bbc.co.uk/radio2. Anton Du Beke of Strictly Come Dancing fame presents a special swing Friday Night Is Music Night – the world's longest-running live music programme on radio – live from Blackpool's Opera House between 7.00 and 8.30pm.

mari62 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Wow! "Radio 2 Live In Blackpool – live from the Empress Ballroom. Saturday 5 September, 8.00-10.00pm" will we be able to hear him live on the radio? -------- Got this into my mailbox: Join a live audience Want to chortle at a comedy or soothe a furrowed brow with Beethoven? The BBC offers free seats for its shows at bbc.co.uk/tickets. Last week, visitors could request a ringside seat for the semi-finals of Mastermind, a Radio 2 Live concert starring Mika, and the BBC3 teenage sitcom Coming of Age. http://www.independent.co.uk/money/spend-save/consuming-issues-free-ndash-and-easy-ndash-summer-holidays-1769031.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
