Audacious Talent

Shaun Keaveny plays fabulous summery tunes. From the audaciously talented Stevie Wonder, to Sugar Minott's biggest hit and Bananarama's lesser-played debut single.

The audacious talent belongs to Stevie Wonder, who opens the show. But Shaun’s written another poem, dedicated to the return of sunny teatimes, as well as a marimba-themed dad gag (sorry about that).

The sun-drenched playlist brings together talent from across the musical genres, including Sugar Minott’s biggest hit, something Bowie-esque from La Roux, a duet from blues legends Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Bananarama’s lesser-played debut single and a whimsical solo hit from Lindsey Buckingham (who’s not on the show next week).

To listen to the show on most smart speakers, say: “Ask BBC Sounds to play Shaun Keaveny", and send your missives to shaun@bbc.co.uk.

Produced by Spiritland Productions for BBC Radio 2.
