Midge Ure & Claire Sweeney
This week Michael welcomes Midge Ure and Claire Sweeney into the studio.
Michael returns from his holidays to launch the On The Ball Quiz in 2018. He'll also be playing a few tracks from this weekend's Family Album and will be inducting another songwriter into his Hall of Fame.
This week Midge Ure will be performing live in the Musician's Circle. The Scottish singer/songwriter enjoyed particular success in the 1970s and '80s in bands including Slik, Thin Lizzy, Rich Kids and Visage, and most notably as frontman of Ultravox. He's back on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio 2 with his new album Orchestrated.
Claire Sweeney will be popping by the studio to chat about her role in the 'Crazy For You'. Claire is best known for playing the role of Lindsey Corkhill in the Channel 4 soap Brookside and her appearance on the first series of the reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother.
