Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, Irish novelist Cecelia Ahern and Danish comedian Sofie Hagen.

Irish novelist Cecelia Ahern discusses her new book, Lyrebird, plus Janice hears from Sex Pistols songwriter and founder member Glen Matlock and Danish comedian Sofie Hagen.

Today Janice has a great mix of books, chat, comedy, art and tele!

First up today we hear about Cecelia Ahern's 14th novel LYREBIRD. 

Original Sex Pistol Glen Matlock talks to Billy Sloan exclusively ahead of AN EVENING WITH GLEN MATLOCK in Glasgow this weekend.

Danish comedian Sofie Hagen who was 2015 Fosters' Edinburgh Comedy Award Newcomer winner drops in ahead of her Aberdeen gig this weekend. 

Following the ADP's (Aftermath Dislocation Principle's) critically-acclaimed appearance at Banksy's Dismaland last summer, the installation has taken to the road and is being shown across the UK at the sites of historic riots. Janice finds out more from acclaimed artists behind the work, Jimmy Cauty and Steve Lowe founder of L-13 Light Industrial Workshop, an innovative contemporary arts organisation which has supported the ADP from the beginning.

Music and we hear from Utah born singer-songwriter Wrenne who tells Janice about the huge changes she made in her life when with just $200 in her pocket she took her guitar and left the Mormon church in Utah where she'd grown up and moved to the UK to pursue music. 

Plus, this week's Tuesday Review with Peter Ross, Sophie Good and Cameron Orr will feature two new BBC dramas set during and just after World War II, Stephen Poliakoff's CLOSE TO THE ENEMY and MY MOHER AND OTHER STRANGERS plus we delve into the new Queen album ON AIR - THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS.
