BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, 23/06/2014

LA-based band Vintage Trouble join Janice for chat ahead of their Edinburgh gig.

David Greig (The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, Dunsinane) and the late David MacLennan (A Play, A Pie and A Pint series at Òran Mór), joined forces to curate The Great Yes, No, Don't Know, Five Minute Theatre Show, a one day event, filled with over 200 micro theatre shows, all performed in front of live audiences and providing hundreds of answers to one very important question - a democratic dramatic response to the theme of 'Independence'. David Greig joins Janice to discuss the Five Minute Theatre Show and we hear from a selection of people who chose to get involved.

Schoolchildren from Castlepark Primary School, Irvine, and Cregagh Primary School, Belfast, will literally bring the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine to life as they perform amongst the exhibits in an innovative theatrical collaboration at 1:30pm on Tuesday 24th June. We find out more from Philip Crawford and Vicky Robb.

Poet Kathleen Jamie sends The Culture Studio a Commonwealth Poetry Postcard this week.

LA based band Vintage Trouble drop in for a chat ahead of their Edinburgh gig tomorrow night.

And Art Historian Anne Ellis presents the fourth installment of 'Artists at War' - part of The BBC's 'World War One at Home' series which marks the centenary of The First World War. This month she imparts her knowledge of Muirhead Bone who in 1916 was the first person to be appointed Official War Artist.
