Rae Morris performs live, author Ashley Hickson-Lovence, video artist Rachel Maclean

Musician Rae Morris performs live in the studio, author Ashley Hickson-Lovence's new novel Your Show, video artist Rachel Maclean on the Scottish art that made her.

Rae Morris discusses her latest single, ‘No Woman is An Island,’ ahead of the release of her new album.

Ludovic Hunter-Tilney joins us to discuss the highlights from last night’s Grammy Awards.

Novelist Ashley Hickson Lovence talks about his new novel, Your Show, about Uriah Rennie, one of the first black referees to officiate games in the Football League, a story of one man's pioneering efforts to make it, against the odds, to the very top of his profession and beyond.

To mark the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's Art That Made Us season, Front Row invites artists from across the nations of the UK to choose the piece of art that made them, by shaping their artistic and cultural identity. We begin with Rachel Maclean, the digital artist who represented Scotland at the Venice Biennale, on the 1847 painting The Reconciliation of Oberon and Titania by Sir Joseph Noel Paton.

And we pay tribute to the actress June Brown, best known for her iconic role as Dot Cotton on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã soap opera EastEnders, who has died.
