We got together at The Palladium in London for a night celebrating the music of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Hosted by our very own Kate Thornton and Martin Kemp, Greatest Hits Radio Live saw performances from artists Howard Jones, Mica Paris and Heather Small.

We also welcomed West End stars Mazz Murray, Cleopatra Rey, who plays Rita Marley in Get Up Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical, and Kristina Love, the star of Tina: The Tina Turner Musical to the stage.

There were also some brilliant on-stage chats with Greatest Hits Radio presenters Simon Mayo, Jackie Brambles and Paul Gambaccini, who kept the audience entertained with stories from their wealth of broadcasting experience, as well as fantastic chats with the performers!

There were so many amazing moments from the night, including a hilarious Confession from Martin Kemp! Take a look through some of the highlights below and you can listen back to the full show on our website and app.

Martin Kemp got a little bit distracted while backstage!

He kept us entertained while on stage but at the side of the stage he was keeping an eye on the World Cup!
