I'm In A Rock 'n' Roll Band! – The Singer Ep 1/6
Saturday 1 May
9.40-10.40pm BBC TWO (Schedule addition 21 April)


From the first time they play live to their dying day, rock 'n' roll bands are loved by millions of people who keep a special place in their hearts for their favourite groups and musicians.

Now, BBC Two presents a new six-part series investigating what makes the perfect rock 'n' roll band.

As part of a multi-platform project with BBC Radio 2 and bbc.co.uk, the series dissects the traditional band, looking at what makes each of the individual members tick, and culminating in a live studio show in June, in which industry experts discuss their favourite musicians before creating the ultimate fantasy band.

This first programme examines the role of the singer, often the mouthpiece of the band and the gateway to the fans. Untouchable yet one of the people; extrovert yet shy offstage; unutterably ugly yet a pin-up to thousands, they all have a lingering impact on people's lives.

Examining the role of the leader, this documentary delves into what makes them such a success, looking at the aesthetics behind the faces and uncovering the roots of their enduring appeal.

It also explores the pressures of being the leader, the stage personas and the hiring and firing, as well as the relationships they develop with their fellow bandmates and the fans. Highlighting great singers, the programme journeys through some of the greatest rock 'n' roll stories of the last 50 years.

Narrated by Mark Radcliffe, I'm In A Rock 'n' Roll Band! includes contributions from Jon Bon Jovi, Siouxsie Sioux, Shirley Manson, Roger Daltrey, Matt Bellamy, Alice Cooper, Bob Geldof, Noddy Holder, Sting and many more.
