BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Doune The Rabbit Hole Preview, Kirsty Wark, UB40 and Alexander Trocchi’s The Holy Man and Other Stories

We preview the ‘Doune The Rabbit Hole’ Festival and hear from Kirsty Wark and UB40.

We preview this year’s ‘Doune The Rabbit Hole’ Festival, which has a stellar cast, and hear from Kirsty Wark and UB40.

Grant Stott talks Doune The Rabbit Hole Festival organiser Jamie Murray, and to Nicola Meighan about this year’s incredible line-up: a truly stellar cast including The Damned, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Hawkwind, John Grant, John Cooper Clarke, Shonen Knife, Carla Easton, The Skids and Sister Sledge! It’s the perfect taster of what to expect in July at the warm and friendly festival held in Stirlingshire at Cardross.

With the launch of her second novel, The House By the Loch, just around the corner, our literary correspondent, Rebecca Smith went to visit with Kirsty Wark to have a have a look around her (extensive) bookshelves!

Grant Stott will also talk to not one, but two, members of UB40, who are out on the road promoting their forthcoming 40th Anniversary Tour of the UK - and they will be discussing their new single ‘Gravy Train’.

Scottish Actor and rising star, Sandy Batchelor discusses his role in Rupert Rupert and Rupert –a bittersweet comedy-drama about a struggling actor with multiple personality disorder whose three identities battle for control when he wins the lead role in a West End play and falls for the pretty makeup artist

All that and our regular Book Group discussion: this month the title under review is from ”one of the most formidably intelligent and radical avant-garde writers Britain has ever produced” - Scottish Author Alexander Trocchi’s ‘The Holy Man and Others Stories’
