Friday night is country night...
Just driven from the Get It On studios in Aberdeen to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's new HQ in Glasgow, where I present my Friday night country show. It's been a lovely day for a drive and on the way down was listening to our new sitcom, Having It All, which was written by Jackie Bird. I thought it was great and it stars the brilliant Michelle 'Green Wing' Gomez, a real coup for Jackie and Radio Scotland.
I also listened to a recording of my session guests on tonight's , who are the all-girl Canadian band, The Wailin' Jennys. The name makes it sound like they are screaming banshees, when in fact the opposite is true. They make the sweetest sounds together, especially when they do a cappella numbers as you'll hear tonight.
Talking of 'wailers' though, my producer Karen has unearthed a version of Act Naturally which features Ringo Starr duetting with Cilla Black. What happens when the legendary Liverpool larynx is let loose on a country classic? Tune in to find out, but you can bet your life it won't be pretty...
