Seven new weekly music programmes take to 成人快手 Radio Scotland's airwaves for the summer - offering a change in the evening schedule, and our usual presenters and their usual shows a summer break.

These are as follows:

Asian Overground

From 11 June 11 until 9 July, on Saturdays from 6.00 to 7.00pm, Asian Overground marks the first and most radical series in a string of new listening for the summer.

It is presented by two new voices to the station, Rupa Dilber and Manjot Sumal. They are both regular presenters on Scotland's only full-time Asian station - Glasgow's Radio Awaz FM.

Together, they offer a new twist on the classic boy-girl team, with Manjot doing his best to curb Rupa's huge enthusiasm.

By day, Rupa is an employment lawyer and Manjot is a former student who has also presented on SubCity FM.

In the last five years, Asian music in Scotland has developed into a diverse and exciting mix of traditional and western sounds. From Bhangra to hiphop flavoured reworkings of traditional songs and all points in between, Asian club DJs are breaking moulds throughout Scotland and permeating mainstream Scottish musical culture with a mix of fresh styles.

Asian Overground will deliver this exciting mix in a five-part series of fast-moving programmes designed to appeal to Asian listeners - and crucially to everyone in Scotland interested in good music.

Vic & Bryan's Big Scottish Adventure

From 18 June 18 until 22 August, on Mondays from 8.05 to 10.00pm, Vic Galloway and Bryan Burnett hit the road for live broadcasts and music from around Scotland in the Radio Scotland Camper Van.

Monday 18 July sees them kick off their tour in Glasgow, followed by Inverness, Aberdeen, Tay Square in Dundee and Edinburgh on 22 August.

Vic and Bryan will be asking locals for insider knowledge on where to hear the best music, eat the best food and what the must-do tourist activities are in the area.

With plenty of surprise local personalities and celebrity buskers in the 'live awning', the tour wouldn't be complete without a guide to dodging the Scottish midgie!

Listeners can let Vic and Bryan know the hidden gems in their area by e-mailing bigadventure@bbc.co.uk.

Celtic Spirit

From 23 June until 14 July, on Thursdays from 8.05 to 10.00pm.

Featuring interviews with major international stars - including Kris Kristofferson, Cerys Matthews and Paul Brady - this new four-part series, presented by award-winning Scottish singer/songwriter Karine Polwart, takes a personal and sometimes sideways look at how a great many mainstream artists have been influenced by Celtic and folk music.

The first programme features roots and country with music from Hank Williams and Johnny Cash to Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle, while subsequent shows will include blues, soul, rock, indie, film soundtracks and even pop.

Expect to hear everything from Bob Dylan to Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin to REM, Enya to Ronan Keating and and many more between.

New York Sessions

From 28 June until 2 August, on Tuesdays from 8.05 to 10.00pm. New York Sessions is a six-part series showcasing some of the hottest acts on the New York music scene.

From funk-based Balkan rhythms to hiphop grooving ska ensembles, New York Sessions will push the boundaries and stir the musical ethnic melting pot that is New York City.

Presented by New York legendary showman Skip Matta, New York Sessions provides an insight into some of the World music scene's top international artists.

Live from Henry's

From 6 July until 27 July, on Wednesdays from 8.05 to 9.00pm, recorded at the famous Henry's Jazz Cellar in Edinburgh.

Live at Henry's brings unprecedented recognition to the public about Radio Scotland's commitment to live music, with the pairing of both homegrown and international jazz names.

Trumpeter Colin Steele and his Quintet record exclusively for this series, as his first CD on the international ACT label goes on release.

Scotland's bass-playing legend Ronnie Ray joins the new bass sensation Kyle Eastwood (Clint's son) with a band that features both Ronnie and Kyle's trio.

Jazz singing star Fionna Duncan momentarily puts down her headphones from Jazz Song (which accompanies this series) with a performance of her own, featuring the American prodigy Jay Clayton.

Guitars come to the fore when the iconic star Jim Mullen teams up with Aberdeen-born guitarist Graeme Stephen, whose Sextet are currently causing a stir at every gig.

Singers on Song

From 6 July until 27 July on Wednesdays from 9.00 to 10.00pm.

With a professional jazz career spanning some 40 years, Fionna Duncan is one of the UK's great jazz singers. She's also a passionate advocate for jazz songs and singers and has endeared herself to several generations of jazz singers with her irrepressible sense of fun and larger-than-life personality.

In these four programmes, Fionna Duncan talks 'singer to singer' with artists from across the entire spectrum of jazz who are working in the UK today, about what makes a song great in their eyes.

Guests include the diva of improvisation, Norma Winstone, and cabaret jazz singer Barb Jungr.

The Radio Thrift Shop

From 12 August until 2 September, on Fridays from 8.05 to 10.00pm.

Laura Cantrell presents the cult American country programme, specially produced for listeners in Scotland. The Radio Thrift Shop will give Radio Scotland listeners an exclusive taste of New York's country music world, and introduce a whole new world of radio, featuring music on disc and in session.

Cantrell is a brilliant country singer and rising star on both sides of the Atlantic. She is also one of country music's most acclaimed cult broadcasters.

For three hours every week on WFMU (broadcasting to New York City), she is the proprietor of The Radio Thrift Shop, a country music show like no other - a brilliant mix of the best and most exciting new country and the best and most obscure old records. It is cult listening for music fans in New York.

According to the New York Times: "She has the sort of east Tennessee accent that seems to keep your coffee warm. Her decidedly uncatchy signature line - 'Well, there you have it folks' - has become a lazy weekend mantra for her fans. And over the last six years, her noon-to-3pm show, The Radio Thrift Shop on WFMU, the famously eclectic New Jersey radio station, has made her one of the city's best-known DJs among music lovers with a country-and-western bent."

Cantrell already has very strong links with Scotland, having launched her recording career on the Glasgow label Spit & Polish; having made frequent visits, she has built up a sizeable Scottish fanbase.

She also has a high media profile. A concert on her last tour was filmed and broadcast on 成人快手 FOUR, and she's been profiled in depth on several occasions in the quality press.

Big fans include Elvis Costello (who invited her to tour with him in America) and John Peel (for whom she recorded several sessions).

Her profile will be raised higher by a new album, Humming By The Flowered Vine, due out on 20 June. It's her first album following a significant new record deal.

Guests will include some of the dynamic artists in New York, whether in residence or passing through.

In addition, Laura has access to an incredible stock of archive recordings, including transcripts of radio appearances dating back over 50 years and featuring the most important figures in country music.

Excerpts of these, many never heard before in the UK, will weave seamlessly into the programmes.
