from Loose Ends · host BBC Radio 4

Alfie Boe's album Face Myself is his most personal yet, packed with original songs which let us get to know the man behind the music. He shares one of his new tracks. Comedian Paul Black has become a star of Scottish social media, with his viral videos reminding us that dads on holiday are all much the same no matter where they're from. His tour Cash Cow brings us more of the characters that people have come to love. Hannah Lavery's latest book Everything Everyday is a collection of poems that chart protest, grief and hope through the seasons, from the lament of a mourning whale, to the spark of connection of a message notification. This year's Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award winner was Amanda Dwyer. As a lifelong fan of the Big Yin, this win is propelling her towards her August Fringe run.Plus music from Alice Faye, whose beautiful songwriting has taken her from Waverley Station on Channel 4's The Piano, to recent wins at the Scottish Album of the Year Award and BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year.Presenter: Clive Anderson Producer: Caitlin Sneddon
