Afternoons

Available for 29 days

The Band is a musical based on the songs of pop group Take That. This week, amateur theatre group The Dalgety Players are putting on the musical in Lochgelly, so Len hears about the production and how the team behind it are bringing the music of Take That to a whole new audience who weren’t around in their 90s heyday. Internationally renowned pianist Lucy Parham talks about the show she has written and performs in, I Clara, about the life of the trailblazing 19th-century German pianist and composer Clara Schumann. And author Lizzy Stewart talks about her brand new, genre-defying illustrated novel for adult readers, The Wreck.
