Guessing game Music Is the Answer and Lord Woodbine's bowtie!

Feelgood tunes to groove and soothe your soul. Join in with addictive guessing game Music Is the Answer.

Feelgood favourites, hidden gems and fresh new tunes to groove and soothe you. DJ Spoony serves up a brilliant selection of classic soul, disco, soulful house, R&B, funk, UK garage, reggae, hip-hop, doo-wop, yacht rock and more. Our genial host also gives his New 2 Spoon record of the week another spin.

Spoony has another edition of his addictive guessing game Music Is the Answer. Will you be able to work out which song Spoony will be playing later in the show based purely on the random (and often hilarious) comments people leave below the song鈥檚 official music video online? Each week a different member of the Radio 2 presenting family voices the real-life comments. Join in the fun, text 88291, WhatsApp 0-800-288-291 or e-mail spoony@bbc.co.uk. All stabs in the dark and educated guesses are welcome!

The exploration of V&A East's Museum's The Music is Black exhibition, celebrating 125 years of black British music, continues as Spoony and curator Jacqueline Springer check out a splendid velvet bowtie. The item's owner was the dapper Lord Woodbine (born Harold Phillips) who was a Trinidadian calypso musician and music promoter based in Liverpool. Lord Woodbine is best known as an early mentor to the Beatles. He helped shape the band in their formative years, giving them early gigs in his clubs and played a key role in arranging their first trips to Hamburg, which proved crucial to their development. Because of this influence, he is sometimes referred to as the 鈥渟ixth Beatle.鈥� His bowtie is just one of the many items featured in 'The Music is Black: DJ Spoony's Selection', a special two-hour programme available to listen to on 麻豆社 Sounds which also features Level 42's Mark King's bass guitar, Fabio & Grooverider's radio show tapes, Pauline Black's Mohair suit, and much more!

Our genial host wraps things up with a Midnight Feast track. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business.

To listen on most smart speakers, just 鈥榓sk 麻豆社 Sounds to play The Good Groove with DJ Spoony鈥�.
