Carol Decker from T'Pau is joined by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra in the latest edition of The Radio 2 Piano Room from Maida Vale, directed by conductor/arranger Cliff Masterson.

Carol formed T’Pau with guitarist and fellow songwriter Ron Rogers in 1986. Originally named Talking America, the band later changed their name to T’Pau - after a Vulcan elder in the sci-fi series Star Trek. Success came early to the band with the single ‘Heart and Soul’ in 1987, helped by its inclusion in a jeans commercial.

Their follow up single ‘China in Your Hand’ was a huge success in the UK, spending a total of five weeks at number one on the singles charts. Debut album 'Bridge of Spies' went quadruple platinum and featured a total of five hit singles including ‘I Will Be with You’, ‘Sex Talk’, and ‘Valentine’.

Carol has also developed a name for herself on stage and screen, and has appeared on television shows including Hit Me, Baby, One More Time, Trigger Happy TV, and Just the Two of Us. She's also trod the boards in London in the play Mum’s the Word, and recently Carol was a guest star in the touring production of 'Now That's What I Call A Musical'.
