Janice is joined by Edinburgh Blues Rock band Black Cat Bone for a live session ahead of their album launch in Inverness.

We'll also be talking about Scotland's creative ageing festival Luminate as we celebrate 30 years of Lung Ha Theatre Company with a new production Thingummy Bob, about a disabled man in a care home who has lost something very important, that might make him happy, so decides to do something about it.

Mezzo soprano Karen Cargill pops in to talk about Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder which she will soon be performing with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

Audio visual artist Kathy Hinde & Cryptic artistic director, Cathie Boyd tell us about Glasgow-wide, multi-sensory arts festival, Sonica.

Jane MacKenzie lives between village of Plockton in the Scottish Highlands and the French village of Collioure. She spent most of her life working in education, and worked at CERN, where she met Peter Higgs of Higgs Boson fame. She took up writing after she was widowed ten years ago, and is now about to publish the sequel to her bestselling novel Daughter of Catalonia, Autumn in Catalonia. She'll tell Janice about her fictional story, and her extraordinary real-life story.

Harmonising pop/rock brothers and friends of the show The Dunwells perform a live session and catch up with Janice in Glasgow ahead of their King Tuts' gig.

We have a Ghostly Vinyl Verdict... Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr OR There's a Ghost in My House by R. Dean Taylor? Our listeners decide...
