Abba, green clubbing, and The Arches

The low-down on the new Abba album Voyage, the Glasgow club using dancers' bodyheat as an energy source, and remembering arts venue The Arches.

Abba superfan Lorraine Wilson and Scottish star of Mamma Mia in the West End, Sophie Mullen join Nicola to discuss Abba's new album Voyage.

Nicola hears about the pioneering plans of Glasgow nightclub SWG3 to capture body heat from clubbers on the dancefloor, and use it to heat the building.

Matt Baker checks in as he pedals across the country on this year's Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge.

And a new book, Brickwork - A Biography of The Arches, tells the story of the arts venue and nightclub which between 1991 and 2015 had a unique place in Scotland's cultural scene.
