Films from 1940, Frozen 2, and Deacon Blue

Mark Cousins tells Nicola about his plan to watch films only from 1940, and none of them are the classics you might think of!

One man who has decided to be quite specific about his time in isolation is filmmaker and critic, Mark Cousins, who apparently for no reason whatsoever has chosen the number 40 to influence his exercise and watching habits, doing exactly 40 sit ups a day and the films he鈥檒l watch will solely be from 1940.

One of the ways to pass to the time is to reach into your record collection and listen in full to an album, with no distractions. Nicola chats with Deacon Blue鈥檚 Ricky Ross all about Dignity, possibly the best known track from their incredible album RainTown.

Groups all over the country are no longer meeting in person, but over the internet! Rock Choir Leader Charlene Gordon joins us now to tell us more about what they鈥檙e up to!

While musicians all over the world are putting on online gigs for fans to watch at home, for the Nevis Ensemble, doing a gig didn鈥檛 quite feel like the right fit for them.
