Peter White looks into why up-and-coming bands are struggling to secure bank loans.

Can banks be blamed for not backing bands? An expert's view on a reported rise in food poisoning from oysters. And why police are interested in a sale of wines from bankrupt pubs.

Talk Talk tells us why they'll refuse to disconnect customers who are accused of downloading films or music illegally. 

Plus why are police interested in a national newspaper advert which offered top wines for sale from bankrupt restaurants? And find out how the experts are explaining a sharp rise in the number of people reported to have got food poisoning after eating oysters.

And up-and-coming bands are complaining they can't get the funds to go on tour, but should we really expect banks to help them out? Peter White talks to the co-manager of Radiohead and Chairman of the Music Manager's Forum, Brian Message. 

Also more on the lawsuit planned against the partners of E-Clear - the payment processing company blamed for bringing down Scotland's biggest airline.
