Season 1 2006

The Magic Numbers take to the stage bang on time to gleefully announce that they're making history as the first band to play the beautifully refurbished Roundhouse. The band perform new tracks from their forthcoming album as well as hits from their superb debut together with a string septet.

Klaxons, one of the hottest new bands around, come on stage at the Barfly with a raucous set.

Jamiroquai was over the moon to return to the Jazz Cafe for the first time since 1992 and entertained the audience with a greatest hits show.

Paul Weller produced a fantastic, crowd winning performance at the Roundhouse which featured hits from his 30 year career and included some memorable collaborations.

Introduced by Phill Jupitus, Weller took the stage looking very dapper in a striped blue shirt and smart waistcoat. The crowd were warmed up nicely with favourites 'Splinters' and 'Above The Clouds' before the first special guests, Amy Winehouse, was introduced.

The Young Knives bound onto the stage at the Barfly and produce a rockin' set that includes hits "She's Attracted to" and "Weekends".

Jazz on 3 presented three groundbreaking duos, pairing some young lions of the British Jazz scene with some elder statesmen.

From the Roundhouse in north London, as part of the inaugural Electric Proms, James Brown performs a selection of his greatest songs with his 24-piece band plus collaborations with the Sugababes and the London Community Gospel Choir.

Fat Boy Slim plays one of his most intimate gigs in years as he performs an outstanding set at the Lock Tavern in Camden. The lucky 100 people, who won tickets by listening to Radio 1, have an absolutely brilliant night.

There's a highly charged atmosphere in the Main Space as Kasabian arrive on stage. The turn the Round House into one huge party as their anthemic rock is soundtracked by the BBC Concert Orchestra. It's hard to know who's loving it more - the crowd or the band. "It's been f****n' monumental!" declares lead singer Tom Meighan as the fans leave the building singing all the way.

Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are on blistering form in a session recorded at the Roundhouse in north London, as the grand finale of the BBC's Electric Proms in 2006. The setlist showcases a sprinkling of songs from their new mini-opera Wire and Glass, but it's also packed with big singalong tunes like My Generation, Who Are You, Baba O'Riley and Pinball Wizard.
