Jim Kerr of Simple Minds talks about the band's past, present and future, plus actors Claire Sweeney and John Thomson tell Janice about John Godber's play September in the Rain.

We celebrate Book Week Scotland every day this week on the Culture Studio. Today, the three BWS Ambassadors, authors Shari Low and Nick Sharratt and poet Ryan van Winkle join us to tell us how they plan to spread the love of books across the land.

Atomic Doric is an art project that's been happening all over Aberdeenshire for the past few months. It culminates this weekend at the Atomic Doric Festival Weekend. Director Nicola Henderson and artist Chris Dooks give us the lowdown.

After two platinum selling albums, Editors have cemented their place in indie rock history. Singer Tom Smith and bass player Russell Leetch take time out from their sound check at the Barrowlands to join us.

In the first of an occasional series of reports, art critic Anne Ellis takes a trip to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum with auctioneer Anita Manning to pick out Anita's favourite exhibit.

And after opening in Glasgow's Theatre Royal last night, actors Claire Sweeney and John Thomson will be sharing a little bit of John Godber's hit play, September in the Rain with us.
