The 🦛 🦛🦛 are back BBC Scotland. Can’t believe it’s been two years since we made our arty odyssey around Scotland’s new towns.
I can also heartily recommend Pauline’s ‘hot minute’ unpicking the arts funding situation BBC Front Row last night. The show came live from Glasgow and was presented by Kirsty Wark. Well worth a listen 🔗⬇️ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Lovely to have the journalistic powerhouse that is Kevin McKenna pop into JBM HQ this morning. Looking great, as usual (Kevin, not me)!
