Edinburgh International Book Festival launch, the International Showcases for Scottish artists and musician Emma Stevens

Tuesday Review team Neil Cooper, Claire Sawers and Jonathan Whitelaw discuss TV series Riviera, Young Fathers' Tape One/Tape Two re-issue and Red Raw at The Stand comedy club.

This summer, Scotland will be in the spotlight at two of the biggest and most prestigious folk festivals: the Rudolstadt Festival in Thuringia, Germany, and the Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany, France. Head of Music at Creative Scotland ALAN MORRISON and journalist NEIL COOPER discuss Scottish showcases, including two Showcasing Scotland concerts supported by Creative Scotland at The Great Escape 2017 in partnership with WIDE DAYS, and arts collective NEU! REEKIE!'S recent showcase in Hull. We hear from the artists and organiser's at the Neu! Reekie! Where are We Now? Event in Hull, in a package produced by Richard Bull and narrated by Neu! Reekie! co-founder, poet MICHAEL PEDERSEN.

EMMA STEVENS has just been announced as the sole support for Wet Wet Wet at Edinburgh Castle (EMBARGOED UNTIL MONDAY). She pops into the Glasgow studio for a chat with Janice and a play of her new single.

Music reporter JEN IMRIE hunts down TOM JOSHUA at a secret gig in Scotland for a backstage chat as he wraps up live Scottish dates supporting Bill Ryder-Jones, what it's like having a comedian/magician dad writing a new comedy with Tim Vine, and having his first single reaching half a million streams on Spotify - and we hear his beautiful new single Boys in Cars.

Our TUESDAY REVIEW team NEIL COOPER, CLARE SAWERS and JONATHAN WHITELAW discuss the RED RAW comedy night at the Stand comedy club in Edinburgh, new Sky Atlantic show RIVIERA starring Julia Stiles and Anthony La Paglia, and the re-issues of Edinburgh's Young Fathers' first two albums.
