Composer Patrick Doyle on the challenge of writing King Charles III's Coronation March

Composer Patrick Doyle, John Linnell from They Might Be Giants, and the Midnight Sun Weekender Festival on the Isle of Lewis.

Scottish composer Patrick Doyle talks about the honour and challenge of writing King Charles III’s Coronation March for the crowning of the new Monarch this coming weekend.

Erskine-born actor, singer and producer Alyson Orr about finally adding composing to her list of achievements a little later in life, at the age of 55, after overcoming a lack of confidence in her skills. She releases her first album today!

Janice will hear about a brand new festival, happening later this month, the UK’s most idyllic music event this summer, on the Isle of Lewis, which has attracted The Pretenders, Primal Scream, and Edwyn Collins to grace the stage.

We have a first play of our brand-new AS SOTW – Hold Your Hands Out To Me by Alex McEwan

And American band They Might Be Giants are having to extend their UK tour due to high demand as they celebrate 40 years in the business and John Linnell from the band will be speaking to Janice.
