Available for 29 days

Two listeners take on Vernon's mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top, and Vernon delves into the BBC archives for Vernon's Vault. Plus, there are two more song choices and chat with Radio 2's Owain Wyn Evans in Tracks Of My Years. Today, he reveals how he used his drum kit to protect himself and how he discovered a synth pop classic in an unlikely place, with music from Pet Shop Boys and Green Day. All amongst some great music to keep you smiling through the morning. Owain joins Vernon ahead of his 4 Nations Cycle Challenge this November in aid of BBC Children In Need. Owain will be taking on the greatest distance ever covered in a Radio 2 fundraising challenge - starting in Glasgow, Owain’s five-day cycle mission begins on Monday 9 November, and will see him pedal nearly 400 miles through Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and his home country of Wales, before his journey reaches its grand finale in central Cardiff on Friday 13 November.
