BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, 13/07/2014

Actor, writer, director, singer and songwriter Gerda Stevenson joins Richard Holloway.

Award-winning actor, writer, director, singer and songwriter Gerda Stevenson joins Richard Holloway to talk about where her creative energy comes from.

Gerda Stevenson is a woman of many talents. She's an award winning actor and an accomplished writer, director, singer and songwriter. Richard finds out where all that creative energy comes from.

Following Rolf Harris's conviction for indecent assaults against four girls, the art world quickly began to distance itself from the disgraced entertainer. Galleries that sold his works have removed prints and sculptures from sale and many of those who own and have enjoyed a piece of his art or music face an ethical challenge - should these revelations about his life colour their appreciation of his work? Can you value work produced by someone whose private life and conduct you find appalling or should art stand on its own irrespective of the morals of its maker? Critic and writer, Stuart Kelly and John Haldane, Professor of Philosophy at St Andrews University join Richard to discuss these questions.

Recent figures show that the popularity of marriage is on the rise, particularly amongst those choosing to marry later in life. This growing trend is seeing more and more couples aged between 65 and 70 exchanging vows. Newly married couple, Lesley and George Burt and Anne Chilton of Relationships Scotland join Richard to discuss the pleasures and challenges of finding love at this stage in life.

Singer - songwriter Philippa Hanna has worked in a variety of musical styles, but is most associated with the contemporary Christian music genre. She tells us about her life, faith and of course, her music.

Plus a Poetry Postcard, from Antigua.
