Celebrating the work of artist and Tutti Frutti writer John Byrne, plus a new V&A Dundee exhibition marking the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend held in the city this summer.

After the passing of artist and playwright John Byrne, Nicola celebrated his life and legacy with arts journalist Jan Patience, writer and critic Neil Cooper and his good friend, actor Gavin Mitchell. 

Music writer and goth aficionado Simon Price indulges Nicola with The Cure in his encyclopaedic biography CUREPEDIA: An A-Z of The Cure

We hear Dundee musician and singer Be Charlotte about Radio 1’s Big Weekend Experience exhibition which will be hosted at V&A Dundee from today. The exhibition showcases highlights from across the Big Weekend with contributions from the public of memorabilia, photos and items.   

And we delve into The List’s HOT 100 with Neil Cooper and Suzie Mwanza as they choose their highlights from the list of Scotland’s most influential creatives who have made a major impact on the Scottish cultural landscape of the past year.
