BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, Louise Goffin, Norman Blake and Teenage Fanclub, Ashley Pharoah on The Living and the Dead, and The Railway People project

Janice talks to Louise Goffin, the singer-songwriter, producer and daughter of Carole King

Janice Forsyth talks to singer-songwriter and producer Louise Goffin, who is also the daughter of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, and hears songs from her new album.

Ashley Pharaoh tells us about writing the new supernatural BBC series starring Colin Morgan, The Living and the Dead. The whole series is on BBC iPlayer now and broadcasts on BBC One from 9pm on Tuesday.
Daughter of Carole King, Louise Goffin, tells us about her new album, her career as a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter and producer, and working with her mother.
Raymond Meade (singer songwriter and member of Ocean Colour Scene) and Nick Low talk about The Railway People. A Short EP and documentary about how visiting Auschwitz led Ray to write new music. Raymond wrote to the famous Auschwitz survivor Mrs Eva Kor about contributing a spoken word piece on the end of a song called At The Top Of The Stairs. Ray goes out in July to record Eva's part on the spot where her parents were taken away during WW2, and Nick and his cameraman will document the whole experience. We'll follow up on this incredible project once they've brought it all together. 
As part of our Memories and Conversations season on BBC Radio Scotland, every day this week, we'll be playing a clip from the BBC archive and inviting you to share your memories. Our first clip evokes memories of the excitement over wireless radio, the physical sets and the content played on them... Janice asks Nick Low and Raymond Meade to share their radio memories, and invites listeners to do the same. 
Janice's Single of the Week is I'm in Love by Teenage Fanclub.
Janice's Vinyl Verdict Choice is between Radio Radio by Elvis Costello and the Attractions, and Radio Song by R.E.M.
