BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Singer Ella Eyre

Singer Ella Eyre performs live, flexible childcare, and men and relationships over 40.

Ella Eyre on her debut solo album, childcare if you do not work nine to five, why women seem to be better represented in Scottish politics, and men over 40 and relationships.

21 year old singer and songwriter Ella Eyre made waves last year, featuring on the BRIT Critics' Choice and the BBC Sound Of shortlists. As she now gets ready to release her debut solo album, Feline, at the end of this month. She joins Jane Garvey to talk about making it in the music industry at such a young age, and to perform, Even If, live in the studio. 

Why are women better represented in Scottish politics? Has progress towards gender equality progressed or is it stalling? We hear from Meryl Kenny, lecturer in politics at Edinburgh University, and Sarah Smith from BBC Scotland. 

The next in our series in which Suzi Godson The Times relationship columnist speaks to men from their twenties to their eighties about their experiences. Today we hear from 56 year old Simon who has two children under 5 and is a father of two 20-something's from his first marriage .

Plus finding appropriate and affordable childcare is a struggle at the best of times, but what happens when you work unpredictable hours? We talk to Ellen Broome from the Family and Childcare Trust about this longstanding problem facing parents and if there's any hope for greater provision for 'wraparound' childcare in the future.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
