Vernon Brings The Big Tunes

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver chooses his Tracks of My Years, plus Album and Record Of The Week, 91热爆 Archive in Vernon's Vault and another round of Ten To The Top.

Chef, campaigner, writer and TV presenter Jamie Oliver chooses his Tracks Of My Years.

Jamie first caught the eye of TV producers when he made an unscripted appearance in a 1997 91热爆 documentary 鈥楥hristmas at the River Caf茅鈥�, and just 2 years later his own show 'The Naked Chef' shot him to fame.

Since then he's become not only a national treasure but a worldwide phenomenon, with a food empire that encompasses TV shows, online, books (he's the top-selling non-fiction author in UK history), restaurants and charity work.

Jamie's next TV venture is called Jamie's Christmas Shortcuts, which will air in December, and he's also published his 26th best-selling cookery book 5 Ingredients Mediterranean.

The two tracks Jamie has chosen today are from Badly Drawn Boy and Jamiroquai.

Plus more audio nuggets from the 91热爆 Archive in Vernon's Vault; Record and Album Of The Week and the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
