Apple Tree Yard, Karl Geary and Wonderland: The Musical

BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, Apple Tree Yard, Karl Geary and Wonderland: The Musical

Janice Forsyth talks to Amanda Coe, Karl Geary, and Wendi Peters and Frank Wildhorn.

Janice Forsyth talks to Apple Tree Yard screenwriter Amanda Coe, Karl Geary talks about his debut novel, and Wendi Peters and Frank Wildhorn talk about Wonderland: The Musical.

Apple Tree Yard, BBC One's prime time Sunday night drama starring Emily Watson and Ben Chaplin, is already generating news stories. We talk to the BAFTA- winning screenwriter of the series, Amanda Coe.

Irish-born American actor Karl Geary talks about his brilliant debut coming-of-age novel, Montpelier Parade.

Grammy, Tony and Emmy award nominee, composer Frank Wildhorn and Coronation Street's Wendi Peters (starring as The Queen of Hearts) talk about Wonderland: The Musical, which opens its first UK tour in Edinburgh this week.

Upcoming singer-songwriter Roseanne Reid is live in session ahead of her already sold- out Celtic Connections festival gig.

Minneapolis band Night Moves discuss how their many musical influences span the genres, from Leon Russell and The Band to r'n'b giants Sly Stone and Curtis Mayfield. They bring their unique sound to Scotland this week.

And we hear about the film The Safe House: A Decline of Ideas, which leads us from the invention of the library in the mining town of Leadhills, South Lanarkshire, in 1741 right up to last year and the crisis that many villages, towns and cities are currently facing with the closure of their local library. Film maker and journalist Davina Catt joins Janice.
