Jamie Cullum is set to front a new jazz programme on BBC Radio 2.

The performer will take to airwaves every Tuesday at 7pm from April 6.

Cullum, whose new show replaces Desmond Carrington's The Music Goes Round - which moves to Fridays at the same time - has previously presented the Best of Jazz for the station.

Meanwhile, Cullum embarks on a thirteen date UK tour in May, starting in Glasgow on May 7.

Tickets are on sale now.
