BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, 27/05/2020

Gary Numan, Damon Beesley and Susie McCabe

Grant's guests include Gary Numan, comedian Susie McCabe and actor Shaquille Ali-Yebuah

Grant Stott is in conversation with Damon Beesley, co-creator of The Inbetweeners, and actor Shaquille Ali-Yebuah about The First Team, the new six-part BBC Two comedy series following the lives of three footballers at a fictional Premier League Club.

We get another chance to hear Grant Stott's interview with Gary Numan about the album Savage (Songs from a Broken World) he recorded featuring his daughter Persia, as well as his family and extraordinary career, and personal battles with social interactions which he came to realise was due to Asperger's and depression.

Who needs a comedy club indoors when you can have a perfectly good one outdoors… in a car park! Grant will be chatting about The Rotunda Drive in Comedy Club with compere Alan Anderson and award winning comedian Susie McCabe.

Grant hears about what life is like for musicians in Lockdown from two Scottish musicians at different stages of their career - Dylan John Thomas from Glasgow's East-End and  23 year old East-Edinburgh trampolinist turned singer songwriter Bow Anderson.  We also take a closer look at the debate about music streaming and whether it's time to rethink how musicians are compensated.  

Nicola Singleton from BBC Radio Scotland's Grow It series shares the books she's been enjoying in Lockdown as part of our weekly Shelf Indulgence series.
