Eurovision Song Contest 2016

Ken Bruce will be broadcasting live from Stockholm for the 61st Eurovision Song Contest, bringing the best of the action to listeners as it happens.

The annual competition is hosted in the Swedish capital following Swede Mans Zelmerlow’s win last year with Heroes. How will this year's UK entrants, Joe and Jake, fare? They will be performing You're Not Alone, which was written by Schwartz, Justin J Benson and S Kanes.

Joe Woolford and Jake Shakeshaft met during the 2015 series of The Voice UK. Jake was part of will.i.am’s team but lost out during the battle rounds, while Joe was a finalist for Rita Ora’s team. Jake, aged 20 from Stoke-on-Trent, can play guitar, and Joe, aged 21 from Ruthin in Wales, has supported The Vamps on their 2015 tour.
