Behind the times as ever, our radio recommendations this week are all, pretty much, repeats. Well, ‘Listen again’ at least…
Last midweek Craig Charles had Stuart and Sarah out of Belle & Sebastian his 6music show, going head-to-head in a musical fight club. Whatever that entails. Find out here.
And BBC Introducing in Scotland last week had Bemz in session. He was winner in 2022 of Scottish Act of the Year, and the 2023 competition is now open as revealed on last Friday’s show.
And yes, it’s all repeats on the telly as well, but this is a good ICYMI from Hogmanay – The Barrowland Roar, a documentary presented by musician Iain Spanish MacKay, which features Del Amitri, The Fratellis, Elephant Sessions, Gun, Stiff Little Fingers, and Dylan John Thomas on stage, as well as Simple Minds, Amy MacDonald, Christy Moore, The Vatersay Boys, Travis and Mogwai talking about their experiences at the legendary venue. You’ve got until the first week of February to watch it…
