Peter Andre, Author Sally Huband, Stiff Records' Dave Robinson, and the choirs singing for the King.

Peter Andre on his new children's books, author Sally Huband, and Stiff Records' Dave Robinson reflects on his incredible career signing some of the biggest names in music.

Peter Andre swaps the mic for books as he tells Nicola how his love for making up stories for his children inspired his new series of children鈥檚 books.

The Damned, Madness, The Pogues, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, Devo, Tracey Ullman, Nick Lowe, Wreckless Eric, The Belle Stars, Kirsty MacColl, Jona Lewie... Dave "Robbo" Robinson signed them all! He and Nicola reflect on his time at Stiff Records and beyond.

This weekend a 300 strong choir, hand-picked from choirs across the UK, will be heading to Windsor Castle to sing at the Coronation of King Charles III, Queen Camilla and millions of viewers around the world and Nicola chats to two very special choirs from Scotland who will be among them.

And Nicola hears how beachcombing helped Shetland author Dr Sally Huband as they chat her new novel Sea Bean which takes readers on a powerful journey of sea and self, trial and hope on the islands of Shetland.
