Helen O'Hara, Denzil Meyrick, Dovecot knitwear exhibition and National Album Day

Policeman turned author Denzil Meyrick, violinist Helen O'Hara and National Album Day.

Violinist and classically trained musician Helen O'Hara talks to Nicola about becoming an accidental pop star with Dexy's Midnight Runners and the highs and lows of being in a chart topping pop band in new memoir What's She Like.

Nicola chats to policeman turned crime writer Denzil Meryck, whose DCI Daley series is currently being adapted for television.

We have a live report from Edinburgh’s Dovecot Gallery to hear about their new knitwear exhibition.

And ahead of National Album Day tomorrow, Nicola is joined by brilliant Scottish singer-songwriter Hamish Hawk and our very own Grant Stott to sing the praises of the long-player.
