Music Live: Party at the Palace

**Music Live: Party at the Palace** was the title of a BBC Radio 2 special programme featuring the live concert held for HM Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee on 03 June 2002. The 'Party', a rock/pop concert held in Buckingham Palace Gardens, was the climax of a day of celebrations for the monarch's Golden Jubilee. The event was touted as the greatest concert in Britain since Live Aid or possibly ever. The concert famously featured Brian May of Queen playing an electric guitar solo of God Save the Queen from the roof of Buckingham Palace.

Programme notes from *Radio Times*:

"*The second of this weekend's Golden Jubilee concerts, live from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, features major acts such as Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Brian Wilson, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, Rod Stewart, Cliff Richard, Queen, Shirley Bassey, Eric Clapton, Blue, S Club 7, Annie Lennox, The Corrs, Mis-Teeq, Phil Collins and newcomer Will Young. Presented by Ken Bruce, with exclusive backstage interviews conducted by Janice Long. The concert is also being televised on BBC1.*"

Details of the BBC 1 broadcast *Party at the Palace* can be seen here.

As mentioned in the *Radio Times* listing above, Janice conducted backstage interviews for Radio 2. At the time of posting, it is not known exactly who she interviewed and if these were also televised.

According to Radio Times listings, Janice had broadcast her usual show from midnight of that day (prior to the event) although that night's show (04 June) was subbed by Lynn Parsons.

## Programme notes

* Janice's fourth TOTP of 1985, and her first (of only two) with co-host Mike Smith.
* Debut for Wham!'s seminal 80s track Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, which had stormed into the charts at no.4. The Style Council's You're the Best Thing and Howard Jones' Pearl in the Shell were also new entries. (Full Top 40 here)
* FGTH's Relax was still in the charts for the 20th week running (and had actually gone up). OMD, Blancmange, The Human LEague and Ultravox also all in the Top 40.
* MS: "(Alvin Stardust track) *was written by Mike Batt, who ten years ago this very day was a Womble*". JL "*Veeery interesting.*."
* This edition has never been repeated on BBC Four due to the participation of Mike Smith. “*While he was alive, Mike Smith decided not to sign the licence extension that would allow the BBC to repeat the Top of the Pops episodes that he presented. Since his passing, the BBC is continuing to respect his wishes*.” (BBC)

## Programme notes

* During this show Janice made an appeal for The La's instruments which had been stolen after their gig the previous evening, which she also attended.
* There is some contrasting information on-line about the actual date of this gig although the fact that Janice is on-air the day after makes this date the more plausible.
* The end of the YouTube clip has Janice announcing a 1964 hit by The Zombies, most probably She's Not There.
