NEXT WEEK: As part of Radio 3's Portraits Day on Monday 7th May, Night Waves is hosting a special edition from the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

Tickets are sold out but there is a waiting list for tickets to attend the 5pm recording in Edinburgh on Monday. Further details from The Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
