Help Nick find his beloved bobble hat in this fun-filled musical hour with all your favourite Nick Cope hits and more.

Nick Cope has been writing and recording his beautiful and totally unique songs for children and their families for over 10 years. He performs with his guitar and stunning animations to sell-out crowds all over the country.

His fanatical following of little and not-so-little fans has grown immeasurably over the last couple of years due to the phenomenal success of the CBeebies show Nick Cope’s Popcast, now in its third series.

Anika a.k.a Annika Henderson is a hybrid artist. The former journalist made a name for herself in the electronic music scene, with her experimental sound collages, confrontational texts and unique way of performing live solo. Her breakthrough came in 2010 with the release of the cult-hit, experimental LP, Anika (Stones Throw /Invada), which she recorded with Bristol band Beak>, a wholly unplanned affair, which began her ongoing investigation into the music, lm, poetry and arts scenes. One of her most known songs remains "I Go To Sleep," a cover of The Kinks' 1965 classic.
