BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, Derren Brown, Mary Lambert, Eurovision and the Tuesday Review

Janice Forsyth talks to Derren Brown, plus singer-songwriter Mary Lambert plays two songs.

Janice Forsyth talks to Derren Brown about performance and photography, singer-songwriter Mary Lambert plays two songs, and Mel Giedroyc reports on Eurovision from Vienna.

Janice speaks to illusionist Derren Brown, who is on tour in Edinburgh with his new stage show 'Miracle'.

Mary Lambert, the voice of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' global smash hit Same Love, performs two exclusive songs and talks about campaigning, expressing herself in public, and taking her mum to the Grammys.

It's nearly Eurovision time! Janice gets the lowdown from Vienna with Mel Giedroyc, ahead of the semi-finals and the big event on Saturday.

Author Alex Hourston talks about her debut novel In My House, an unsettling tale of the unlikely friendship between Margaret, a lonely 57-year-old woman, and Anja, a teenage girl she rescues from traffickers.

Hannah Rothschild's novel The Improbability of Love takes an irreverant look at the world of art and the super-rich. Janice asks if any of it stems from her own experiences.

And the Tuesday Review - Nicola Meighan, Neil Cooper and Moira Jeffrey give their opinions on Paul Weller's album Saturns Pattern, BBC4 documentary Eurovision at 60, and the 2015 opening of Jupiter Artland.
