Broadcaster and writer Mark Radcliffe discusses his new book Crossroads: In Search of the Moments that Changed Music.

Grant Stott Has music and conversation with Broadcaster and writer, Mark Radcliffe - discussing Music and its power to transform our lives! His new book Crossroads: In Search of the Moments that Changed Music is a warm, intimate account of a momentous time in his life, and he also considers pivotal tracks in music and how the musicians who wrote and performed them - from Woodie Guthrie to Gloria Gaynor, Kurt Cobain to Bob Marley - had also reached a crossroads that led to such epoch-changing music.

We will also hear from Emeli Sandé. Whilst at TRNSMT, Reporter, Paul English grabbed some time with Scottish singer-songwriter and he found out about her new ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Scotland show: ‘Emeli Sandé’s Street Symphony’ which sees the multi-award winning singer-songwriter travel across Scotland to find the nation’s finest untapped musical talent and orchestrate a concert quite unlike any other!

Grant will also hear about Danny Morgan's ‘bloody’ hilarious comedy-horror DOUBLE DATE - out on digital, DVD & Blu-ray this week, and one the great interpreters of song, Barb Jungr, discusses her brand new album, Bob, Brel and Me.

All that and ahead of a special screening at the Old Hairdresser’s in Glasgow, he will hear about the documentary Waiting: The Van Duren Story. It centres around the Memphis Mystery Man who found himself in Big Star’s orbit in the early 70s and who, made, arguably, two of the greatest ‘unknown pop albums' ever!
