Billy Differ shines a spotlight on Sunshine on Leith, one of the biggest Scottish musicals to hit the stage and screen, a jukebox love story based on the songs of The Proclaimers. The heartfelt musical about the power of home, family and love was originally a hit on stage for Dundee Rep in 2007 and was followed by a hugely popular film adaptation directed by Dexter Fletcher in 2013. We'll hear from some of the musicians and cast members involved, including Roddy Hart and Emma Mullen as well as artistic director James Brining.
