Comedian Laura Lexx and author Gwendoline Riley

Music from Glasgow-based cult favourites band, Colonel Mustard, and the Dijon 5. Plus author Ely Percy tells Janice about their coming-of-age novel Duck Feet.

Janice will be chatting to award winning comedian, writer and actor Laura Lexx who had a busy first lockdown when her Twitter thread about football manager Jurgen Klopp became a book. Laura will be talking about her debut UK tour including The Stand venues in Glasgow and Edinburgh, but due to Covid restrictions Laura will be appearing online via a stream.

Author Ely Percy tells Janice about their coming-of-age novel Duck Feet, set in the mid-noughties in Renfrew and Paisley.

Cult favourites, joyful and genre-hopping Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5 have a new album out - The Difficult Number 2 and band members John McAlinden & David John Blair will be telling Janice all about it as well as their plans for summer gigs pending Covid 19 restrictions.

My Phantoms was chosen as a book to look out for this year by the Guardian, Observer, Daily Mail, Independent, the New Statesman, and also by one of our Tuesday Review team, writer and artist Rose Ruane. Author of My Phantoms, Gwendoline Riley will be joining Janice to chat about her novel.

Our Single of the Week comes from Blue Violet who are Anglo-Scottish duo Sam and Sarah Gotley
