Edinburgh International Festival programme plus Men at Work's Colin Hay

We take a look at the Edinburgh International Festival's plans for a modified celebration in the city this month, plus Men at Work's Colin Hay in conversation.

Edinburgh International Festival Director Fergus Linehan talks Janice through the newly-launched,  modified EIF programme for August in the Festival city. We’ll also be hearing from the designers of the ambitious city-wide lighting installation that gives its name to the whole EIF programme, My Light Shines On. Chorus Director Aidan Oliver and long-time chorus member Nick Balneaves discuss the Edinburgh Festival Chorus’ project to perform Carmina Burana at the festival, as planned, but via a digital platform rather than live.

We look back on fantastic Festival music performances from Kate Dimbleby, Karine Polwart and Men at Work’s Colin Hay.

And comedians Catherine Bohart, Susie McCabe and Craig Hill talk about their plans for August, given that their usual month-long run at the festival can’t happen this year.
