Nicola Meighan speaks to painter Jolomo, plus Mamma Mia! the musical at 20.

Nicola Meighan talks to painter John Lowrie Morrison, aka Jolomo, plus as Mamma Mia! turns 20, its cast and crew take the Afternoon Show on a backstage tour.

The artist John Lowrie Morrison, better known as Jolomo, talks about his new exhibition at Crieff’s Strathearn Gallery, featuring not just the “croftscapes” for which he is famous, but also a selection of his lesser known paintings of wildflowers.

As Mamma Mia! returns to Edinburgh Playhouse as the first stop on the musical’s 20th anniversary tour, The Afternoon Show goes on a backstage tour with some of the cast and crew.

Songwriter Ian Donaldson has a period of fame with 80s band H20. He got in touch with the programme after we played their one big hit I Dream to Sleep – he’s back with a new single, and also writes books. Nicola finds out about his return to music-making.

And in the Tuesday Review:  Gayle Anderson, James Crawford and Rebecca Smith review the first episode of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing; Real Life – Emeli Sandé's new album; and World on Fire, new Sunday night BBC One war drama starring Sean Bean and Helen Hunt.
