Nicola chats to Clare Grogan about Stream4Scotland which takes place this weekend!

Orcadian composer Erland Cooper has just released his third album “Hether Blether”, the final part of the trilogy inspired by his home land Orkney. Nicola chats to him about the importance of place in his work, and how he’s been using his time in lockdown. 

Our Make a Difference discussion this week is focusing on The Sharing Shed in Walkerburn. 

Many of us have found ourselves become more green fingered during lockdown, and with the news that garden centres are to open from Friday, Nicola take us on a tour around her allotment. 

Dundee Contemporary Arts are keeping the whole family entertained with a range of activities all about film. We chat to DCA’s Head of Cinema, Alice Black, about what’s on offer. 

Taking a trip through the archive, it’s another chance to hear Nicola’s interview with the legendary punk poet Dr John Cooper Clarke. 

And this weekend see some of the biggest names in Scottish music join forces to raise money for charity under the banner of Stream4Scotland. Nicola chats to Clare Grogan, just one of the famous faces taking part.
