A review of A Star is Born and Grant meets two of the original Calendar Girls

The remake of A Star is Born, starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, is up for review on the weekly film day. Plus it's National Poetry Day.

It’s film review day and new releases A Star is Born, Venom and Columbus are up for review by our critics Stephen Carty and Allan Hunter.

Grant will be marking National Poetry Day by welcoming poets Nikita Gill and Stuart Paterson, and Andre Breedt, Director of data company Nielson Bookscan, to talk about how they would explain the fact that 2017 marked the best sales on record for poetry books.

The Cumnock Tryst festival has been trying to trying to establish a centre of excellence for teaching music composition in Ayrshire because of the importance of music education to social mobility and to young people’s development. Bronwen Livingstone will be reporting from Doon Academy where they have been working on a project for this weekend’s festival inspired by the Cumnock Chronicle’s war reporting.

And Grant will be meeting original Calendar Girls Trish Stewart and Angela Baker as the musical arrives at The Festival Theatre in Edinburgh, discussing that original idea for a charity fund-raising calendar and how it inspired the long running hit show by Gary Barlow and Tim Firth.
