Radio Scotland

Grant Stott is broadcasting live from the Spiegletent at the Edinburgh Book Festival, at the heart of the Edinburgh Festivals at the Futures Institute, in front of a live audience. Gyles Brandreth joins Grant on stage to talk about his new show Up Memory Lane! Where he unpacks his childhood memories. Multi-award-winning performer, singer and impressionist Jess Robinson talks about her show Elton Reimagined, where she reimagines the songs of Elton John. Richard Marsh tells Grant about his show Top Gunchained, in which he pays tribute to 80s movie Top Gun in a poetic funny homage, and he composes and performs his own poem based on today's radio broadcast. Val McDermid and Jo Sharp tell Grant about their novella This Door of the Seas, which they held an event for at the Edinburgh Book Festival yesterday.
