Singing star 19 year old Eden Kane is another guest. His “Tip for the Top Twenty” in the programme is Joanne, a pretty young woman whose full name will not be revealed until the programme has started. The Confederates, a new trad Jazz group led by Bobby Mickleburgh, will be making their TV debut in the programme.
