The Janice Forsyth Show: Beerjacket

Beerjacket

BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, Beerjacket

A live performance from singer-songwriter Beerjacket, plus YA author Anthony Horowitz.

Janice Forsyth has live music from Beerjacket, plus author Anthony Horowitz talks about his digital takeover of school English lessons across the UK.

We mark 10 years of one of the great success stories of Glasgow theatre- A Play a Pie and a Pint. Actor Dave Anderson will be stopping by.

We have a bit of a tenth anniversary theme as the musician whose work goes under the name of Beerjacket is celebrating 10 years too. It all started for him as he played what he'd actually decided would be his last gig. He'll be playing live for us in a moment.

And author Anthony Horowitz will be staging a digital take over of an English lesson in hundreds of schools around the UK on Monday. He's been given an OBE for services to literature so he's certainly qualified. But does he have his lesson plan all ready?

Hot off the presses we get the low down on this year's programme for the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

We'll also be asking whether, as only 1% of all children's books published in the UK are in translation, we're missing out on some great stories.

And best-selling crime author Peter James on the shocking real life stalking case that prompted his latest hit Roy Grace novel.
