As part of its 2DAY celebrations, BBC Radio 2 today launched an online vote for listeners to choose their favourite Radio 2 live music moments from the past 10 years. 2DAY, on Wednesday 22 June, will see the station turn its schedule upside-down for a 12-hour on air celebration of everything the station has to offer.
Ten of Radio 2's music DJs have chosen their favourite live session track from the network's extensive archive of performances, spanning genres including folk, country, jazz and brass band music. Radio 2 listeners can hear the presenters' top 10 shortlist and then vote for their favourite at bbc.co.uk/radio2, from 8.15am on Monday 13 June. Voting closes at 7.00pm on Tuesday 21 June.
The presenters who have selected their most memorable music moment are Mike Harding, Aled Jones, Frank Renton, Bob Harris, Clare Teal, Janice Long, Jamie Cullum, Dermot O'Leary, Simon Mayo and Jo Whiley. The unique performances include Richard Thompson, Sugarland, Camera Obscura, Primal Scream and Amy Winehouse, alongside the best orchestras and bands in the world.
On choosing Sugarland's Tonight track, Bob Harris says: "The session was recorded the day after the Radio 2 Folk Awards ... Jennifer Nettles delivered one of the greatest vocal performances that I've heard live, ever".
