Janice Forsyth is in the heart of the city bringing us the best of the Edinburgh Festivals

Andrea Baker, William Eddins and Chi Chi Nwanoku discuss their show woman.life.song. Plus Shona The Musical and interviews with comedian Simon Evans and Scots singer Iona Fyfe.

Mezzo-soprano Andrea Baker performs live and discusses woman.life.song which sees her join the Chineke! Orchestra for a celebration of the stages of a woman’s life. Janice also hears from American conductor William Eddins and Chi Chi Nwanoku, founder of the Chineke! Orchestra.

Creator, writer and composer Neo Vilakazi tells Janice about the Shona The Musical Choir ahead of their performance as part of the EIF programme tonight.

Winner of Scots Singer of the Year at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2018, Iona Fyfe performs live and chats to Janice ahead of her Fringe gig this week.

English comedian Simon Evans chats about his new show The Work of The Devil.

And Janice hears the heart-warming story behind the one-woman children’s show Meet Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking which was almost cancelled when the lead performer broke her shoulder until her 19 year old daughter Sofie Miller heroically stepped in. Sofie chats to Janice and performs an extract from the show.
