Clash Of The Pirates

In the blue corner is the juggernaut, Johnnie Walker (his favourite colour) and in the red corner, it's the towering Tony Blackburn. These two heavyweights pull no punches, as they musically battle to become ‘Captain of The Pirates'.

Having both operated outside of the boundaries of traditional broadcasting, both Tony and Johnnie used their freedom of expression to make real names for themselves as the original pirate radio dis.

Radio 2's musical maestros go head-to-head, selecting the ultimate playlist, in a fun show of one-upmanship, through a series of tightly themed rounds. Strategic song selections, quick thinking, timely responses and playful respect are essential ingredients. They even try to out-do each other whilst doing a mock Top Ten chart rundown!

What an occasion, these learned legends celebrating their vast knowledge of contemporary music across the decades and genres to entertain the audience and come out on top!

Who will be drawing deep, using their ninja knowledge to rock the boat and turn the beat around? Who will be the champion?

Expect energetic performances and entertaining banter. One thing's for sure, the music is at its absolute best. There's escape, nostalgia, companionship and of course much laughter, in these unique and joyous 2 hours.
