Nicola Meighan speaks to Ricky Ross, Adam Wakeman and Hugh Fraser.

Adam Wakeman and Damian Wilson perform live tracks from their new album, plus backing singer supremo Denise Johnson.

Andy Arnold is celebrating 10 years at helm at Glasgow's Tron theatre - his 'Tronniversary'.

Son of Rick Wakeman and guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne Adam Wakeman and prog rock singer songwriter who played the lead role of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables on their UK National Tour Damian Wilson have come together to play an 18 date UK tour around their new album release before heading out with Ozzy for his 2 year world tour. They perform a live session and chat to Nicola about how they came to form such a unique duo.

Richy Muirhead of the Scottish Alternative Music Awards tells Nicola about facing up to Paisley's near-miss at the UK City of Culture bid by returning for two days of live music, artist workshops, industry seminars, in-store performances and more, along with two of the acts involved in this year's PAISLEY TAKEOVER - Morgan Woods of EMME WOODS fame and Craig Milroy of Paisley band SWAY.

Hugh Fraser, is best known for playing Poirot's companion Captain Hastings for 25 years, and Robert Daws has been in Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise and Father Brown. Now both these actors have turned their hand to writing crime novels. Nicola talks to them ahead of their appearances at Aberdeen's GRANITE NOIR FESTIVAL this weekend.

Denise Johnson has been described by The Guardian as one of the 10 best backing singers of all time. You'll recognise her voice from Primal Scream's Screamadelica album and performing with A Certain Ratio. She's headlining Neu! Reekie!'s February Fling on Friday so she's talking to us, and we'll play her debut single. 

Plus, Nicola is ON THE RECORD with Ricky Ross, talking about the history of his most famous track, DIGNITY.
