The Great British Songbook - The 00s

Radio 2 DJ Alan Carr and Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle look at the Great British Songbook of the Noughties. Over three hours, Alan and Nadine play the best British songs from the Noughties, including suggestions from Radio 2 listeners. With a playlist that includes Coldplay, Will Young, Amy Winehouse and of course, Girls Aloud, they reflect the work of some of Britain's greatest songwriters and share their own stories from the past decade. This is final programme in a series where British artists and DJs reflect on the Great British Songbook of each decade from the 1960s to the 2000s. The Great British Songbook is Radio 2's celebration of the work of British songwriters by creating a collection of their finest songs and holding exclusive masterclasses with some of Britain's top lyricists.
