Ö÷²¥´óÐã

At 12.30am on Monday 9 May a new overnight programme comes to Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Scotland. Presenter Ravi Sagoo tells us more...

So the countdown has well and truly begun to the launch of a brand new show here on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Scotland as the station goes round the clock from Sunday night onwards...I'll be going live with 'All Night Long with Ravi Sagoo' from Sunday nights to Friday mornings between 12.30 midnight to 5.30am.

Ravi Sagoo

Just been in the studio this past week or so having a few run throughs, really looking forward to playing lots of great music as this show truly brings all of Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Scotland's rich musical repertoire together.

So if you're a fan of Another Country with Ricky Ross (well done Ricky on the Sony Nomination) or be it Jazz & Blues, Rock & Indie to Folk, Celtic and World music it's all there alongside the Radio Scotland Playlist.

Having guest presented Mary Ann Kennedy's Global Gathering in the past and having worked behind the scenes on Traveling Folk in another life I'm especially looking forward to slipping in one or two numbers from these musical worlds.

Working lifestyles are very different these days from 9 - 5, cue Dolly eh? (She's coming to Glasgow come August can't wait!) Of course the 9 - 5 working pattern does still hold its own but if you're a fellow night-owl, be it through your working, social or domestic lifestyle then get in touch with all your stories on the show and perhaps any music you would like to hear by email at allnightlong@bbc.co.uk. For instance I'm looking for your nominations for 'First Pressing' where I will be playing listeners all-time favourite vinyl classics. My favourite piece of vinyl from my own collection is the great Frank Sinatra Live At The Sand's Hotel, what's yours?

This past year I've been working through the wee small hours with and that coupled with years of nightclubbing and a healthy dose of insomnia should set me up for my new nocturnal musical routine!
