Hour Long Show. Live reading + Live bands. Live.

During the latest group meeting, we were trying to think of ways to flesh out the one hour show. I brought up the idea of having a live comic book reading, as I think it would be nice to have in there, and also fits in well with a radio show we’ve been looking at for when our show will be broadcast (The Comedy Cafe, The Book Cafe, all the Cafes etc) The next day, I came up with the idea to feature a live band performance + interview with a band as part of our one-hour show. It seemed odd that none of us had thought of it before, as one of the packages was on Scottish Music Exports and Allan has links with a load of bands who are up-and-coming. To me, it seemed like a great way to have a live guest, whilst also doing something a bit different. The performance itself would probably be pre-recorded, as the microphone set-up would have to be different for the interview afterwards.
Lately, Allan brought up that he doesn’t think having the live performance idea would really work, and we need to find someone who encompasses all of our packages to be involved in the show. But I think it’s going to be very difficult to find someone who can speak about scottish comedy, scottish tartan, scottish music, whisky and scottish comic book writers equally. I think he means someone who is archetype (?) of scottish culture, a person who, when you see them, you just immediately think ‘Scotland’.
He’s emailed someone about it, so I’m interested to see if anyone will come forward or how it will all work out.
