Scottish Identities and Red Balloons

scottish identities and red balloons

...and we're back. After a summer spent plugging away in the sweaty basement of the 13th Note Cafe we're back on the digital airwaves with a fresh coat of paint and some new thoughts for you. On our inaugural show of the season, we speak to Harry Wilson about Helium, his show at this year's Arches Live! festival, and Steve interrogates his growing sense of Scottishness. New boy Colin Chaloner also digs himself into a narnia-shaped hole banging on about our Pick of the Week, the James Morrison Street Party this saturday.

This all comes washed down with a dose of music from local boys My Latest Novel, Mogwai and Errors, amongst others, as well as poetry from Itch favourite Richard Hugo and Itch perennial Stephen Redman.

Next week we'll be continuing our coverage of Arches Live! with interviews with Katherine Nesbitt and Chris Hall, among other irrelevant things that will inevitably creep in. Stay tuned.
