BBC Radio 2 Beatles BBC Radio 2 Beatles
RADIO MUSIC BBC Radio 2 Beatles BBC Radio 2 Beatles Last September BBC Radio 2 produced a spin off four-day Beatles Pop-Up DAB service marking the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic Abbey Road album, broadcast from Abbey Road Studios, and celebrating the Fab Four as a group, as individual artists, and as songwriters, with a mix of live shows, simulcasts (with the parent network), and classic content from the extensive R2 & Apple Records archive. This was a partnership between R2 and Apple/Universal Music, and because of the place the band hold in the hearts of the public, it was an opportunity to invite talent from right across BBC Radio (Scott Mills, Lauren Laverne, Zoe Ball, Nicky Campbell and Greg James), and the music and entertainment industries (Dave Grohl, Gary Barlow, Grace Dent, Jack Savoretti, Paul Merton, John Bishop, Katie Melua and Guy Garvey), to share their love of the band, and their music catalogue. By utilising these names, alongside radio brands like Desert Island Discs, Mastertapes & Sunday Love Songs, we could not only target the band’s evergreen fans, but also a new younger 25-44 demographic. We also weaved complimentary simulcasts into the schedule, kicking off with the UK’s most popular radio programme, the Ken Bruce Show, live from Abbey Road, and then a special live concert from Studio 1, featuring presenter Guy Garvey (who also performed), the BBC Concert Orchestra, Rick Astley, Mark King from Level 42, Ruby Turner and Cerys Matthews, all interpreting classic Beatles songs in front of a small audience of competition winners.

YASMIN EVANS Host of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Weekdays 1-4pm show, Stockport born Yasmin Evans began her radio career at the age of just 15 presenting on one of Manchester’s most prominent community stations. It was then that she began collecting vinyls and originals, developing a taste for eclectic urban music influenced by old school RNB, Hip Hop, House and Reggae. Yasmin studied Radio BA (Hons) at the University of Salford where she was approached by the BBC to take part in their piloting scheme. In September 2012 she was offered the 1Xtra Weekend Breakfast show and after just 9 months in that slot she became the co-host of the 1Xtra Weekday Breakfast Show. In 2016 Yasmin was awarded her own solo show 1-4pm BBC 1Xtra every weekday which she continues to present. A health, fitness and well-being advocate, in 2020 Yasmin took part in Channel 4’s hit show, SAS: Who Dares Wins. Her physical and mental strength was put to the test whilst she battled it out, competing against 11 other celebrity contestants. 2020 also saw her join forces with The Co-op to present their podcast series In It Together covering a range of topics from plastic waste and ethical shopping to grief and loss. From 2017 through to 2019 Yasmin co-hosted CBBC’s live and chaotic Saturday morning kids show, Saturday Mash Up! alongside Jonny Nelson. She has presented The BRIT Awards official international live stream and social red-carpet shows since 2018.
