Here’s a video of some classic Radio 2 themes (inc Steve Wright, Pick of the Pops and Jimmy Young) played live by the BBC Concert Orchestra at the weekends Proms in the Park. I have a feeling this will only play to those in the UK

I was @ the event in Hyde Park on the evening, wonderful hearing it the themes and watching the vid behind the orchestra – seeing the old presenters and the changing radio 2 logos through its history

Going back to how jingles first came about…..being performed live

Played fine here in the US.

Nice one… and you didn’t have to pay the license fee!

Great memories. Nothing compares to the sound of a live orchestra.
