Kieran Hodgson and new play Keepers of the Light

Michelle is joined by Two Doors Down star Kieran Hodgson, and hears about a new play inspired by the mysterious disappearance of lighthouse keepers on the Flannan Isles.

Michelle McManus talks to Izzy Gray about her play Keepers of the Light, inspired by mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers from the Flannan Isles in 1900, and stories of her grandfather who was himself a lighthouse keeper.

Composer Lewis Coenen Rowe tells Michelle about his new opera Stumped, set in an internet chatroom, and inspired by ancient stories about trees and forests; he hopes it will get audiences thinking about the impact of deforestation.

Paul English visits Glasgow's West End to see new painting Caravaggio in Partick by Frank McNab, a reimagining of Caravaggio's The Calling of St Matthew, featuring a group of pals who regularly gathered in a Partick pub.

Comedian and Two Doors Down star Kieran Hodgson tells Michelle about his stand up show Big in Scotland.

And Anna Welander has some more highlights from the recent live Upload Showcase, featuring the creative work of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Scotland listeners.
