Musician Rick Buckler discusses his work and looks back over his remarkable career with The Jam.

Ahead of AN EVENING WITH RICK BUCKLER OF THE JAM in Glasgow, Grant will be talking to the legendary drummer about his work, and looking back over his remarkable career with the Jam; including their early days and struggles in one of Britain’s greatest ever bands!

Grant also has music and conversation with Shakespears Sister, who have just announced their new EP, Ride Again, (set for release in October). The band have also revealed their new single When She Finds You, featuring Brit Award and Mercury Prize nominee Richard Hawley - and they’re coming to Scotland in November on their upcoming UK Tour!

Artist Andrew Mackenzie will discuss his solo exhibition of new drawings and paintings, The Opposite Shore, and Grant will also hear about the stop-motion genius who revolutionised Hollywood special effects, RAY HARRYHAUSEN. John Walsh, a double BAFTA nominated film-maker, in his own right, will be on hand to discuss it all: he is releasing a new book entitled HARRYHAUSEN: THE LOST MOVIES which explores his UNREALISED FILMS, including unused ideas, projects he turned down and scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor.

All that and our regular Book Group discussion: with the current vogue for ‘True Crime Podcasts’, we are focusing on Truman Capote's forensic account of a terrifying multiple murder in a sleepy Kansas Town – In Cold Blood!

It remains as unsettling as ever!
