BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, Edi Stark sits in

Edi Stark is joined by artists Alison Watt and Martin Boyce and singer Kathryn Joseph.

Edi Stark sits in for Janice Forsyth and is joined by artists Alison Kerr and Martin Boyce, singer Kathryn Joseph, who talks about her tour of the Highlands, and author Ajay Close.

Singer-songwriter Kathryn Joseph is about to embark upon a Highlands and Islands tour with a difference: it's all been organised by participants in The Touring Network's Get In Scheme, which aims to get young people between the ages of 16 and 26 working as music promoters. Kathryn herself, plus organiser Jo McLean and participant Kerry Baker, tell Edi about how they've put the tour together.

Clique is a new BBC3 drama set in Edinburgh, about two childhood friends who are drawn into an elusive, elite group of students. Edi speaks to the programme's creator Jess Brittain (best known for her writing on Skins) and actor Synnøve Karlsen.

Former STV news presenter Jill Brown sings live in studio, and reveals how escaping an abusive relationship inspired her new single.

Artists Alison Watt and Martin Boyce talk about the pieces they created using material recovered from the Glasgow School of Art fire, part of the From Ashes to Art collection which is about to be auctioned in London. 

Journalist-turned-author Ajay Close explains the real-life observations which inspired her new novel The Daughter of Lady Macbeth, about fertility, parenthood, and mother-daughter relationships.

Bob Dickson visits the new exhibition A Fair Life at Glasgow's Riverside Museum, focusing on the lives of Scotland's Show people. 

Single of the Week is An Evening, by The Great Albatross.
