Adam meets British country band The Shires, who are out on tour and coming our way soon.

Adam meets The Shires, the first British country artists to achieve a UK Top 10 album, and the only British act to win a prestigious CMA award. They're out on tour and coming our way very soon.

We also meet writer and performer Mohit Mathur, the man behind Dial 1 For UK, a hilarious and hard-hitting new one-man show coming to the south-east soon.

And another round of Magic Music. Can you work out the hit song when we turn off all the instruments bar one?
