Scotland's cultural funding controversy, leading American pianist Jeremy Denk, and Harry Mould on their debut play The Brenda Line.

Members of Scotland's cultural community discuss the controversy around a cut to vital funding.

Ahead of his third year performing at the Lammermuir Festival of classical music, leading American pianist Jeremy Denk talks about his passion for musical maverick Charles Ives, whose 150th birthday he is celebrating with a special concert and a new album of his sonatas.

And debut playwright Harry Mould discusses their production The Brenda Line, which inspired by the volunteers who responded to obscene phone calls made to The Samaritans in the 1970s and 80s. The Brenda Line is on at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre.
