Ricky Ross stands in with guests Greg Pearson, Gerda Stevenson, Alan Muir and Andrew Wasylyk.

Ricky Ross meets Edinburgh born singer songwriter Greg Pearson who wrote his second single when he was living in Los Angeles. He recorded and produced it back home in Scotland, and has most recently been writing and collaborating in Dubai and The Middle East. Greg talks to Ricky about his adventures so far and performs his new song live in our Edinburgh studio. 

Gerda Stevenson talks about her new book "Inside & Out - the Art of Christian Small" telling the story of the Scottish Artist. Gerda has written a biographical introduction and poems to accompany the paintings inside.

Award winning journalist and comedian Alan Muir talks about bringing his play The Greatest about Muhammad Ali fighting in Paisley in August 1965 back to Oran Mor for another run.

Ricky hears about the unlikely combination of the World Cup and jazz music as he looks ahead to members of the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra teaming up with some of Germany's most accomplished improvising musicians to perform live during the real time broadcast of the Germany-vs Sweden match on Saturday. 

And Nicola Meighan takes a trip out to Hospitalfield in Arbroath to talk to multi-instrumentalist, Dundee musician (lead singer of the Hazey Janes and member of Idlewild) and composer Andrew Wasylyk about his residency there. He takes Nicola a tour around the incredible landscape overlooking the North Sea and the house bequeathed to artists by artist and collector Patrick Allan-Fraser and his wife Elizabeth Fraser.
