BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, John Peel remembered; Gary Clark and Dundee2023 Over Bridges; Tuesday Review - Roddy Woomble

John Peel tribute with producer Bobby Seiler and ex-Simple Minds manager Bruce Findlay.

Gary Clark, Grant Irvine from Model Aeroplanes and Mark Johnston of St Martiins talk about creating Over Bridges, the official song for the Dundee2023 European City of Culture bid.

Gary Clark joins Janice to talk about releasing new track Over Bridges featuring a host of talent from Dundee. The song was commissioned to compliment the city's 2023 City of Culture bid. Mark Johnston from St Martiins and Grant Irvine of the Model Aeroplanes join in the conversation to talk about the collaboration.

We hear the latest from Anne Ellis's Talking Picture Series. This time she's joined by Val McDermid!

As BBC Radio 6 release a new show celebrating John Peel's on air moments, former Simple Minds manager Bruce Findlay talks about why the iconic DJ was instrumental to the band's success, his own relationship with him, and why he thinks he was such a legend of broadcasting.
We also hear from one of our in-house team Bobby Seiler, who produced the great man and still has fond memories and even hand-written notes from him.

Our Tuesday Review team Yasmin Sulaiman, Nicky Marr and Jonathan Whitelaw preview the new Channel 4 series of the Great British Bake Off (which Nicky unsuccessfully applied to!), Roddy Woomble's new album and Diana and I - a new BBC series following the lives of four people all differently affected by the death of the Princess - including a Glaswegian florist played by Tamsin Greig.
