with Elaine C Smith

Join actor and comedian Elaine C Smith as she tells the story of her life through the music that she loves. An epic journey filled with memories, madness, love and nostalgia.

Join Scottish actor and comedian Elaine C Smith as she shares the music that has helped shape her life. From her early days listening to Scottish greats such as Gerry Rafferty and Rab Noakes in small folk clubs in Lanarkshire, to rubbing shoulders with Nile Rodgers and Chic at the Edinburgh Playhouse. It's a journey through an extraordinary life filled with fun, laughter, love and nostalgia. Music ticking all boxes from Gene Kelly to Joni Mitchell, and plenty of dancing in between.

Elaine first found success in iconic comedy shows such as Naked Video, City Lights and Rab C Nesbitt. She's also enjoyed a stage career that's taken her around the world. You can currently see her on your TV screen in the seventh series of the award-winning Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scotland sitcom Two Doors Down, playing Christine O'Neil.
