Welcome to February’s edition of Turn Up the Volume with Nick Coffer.
This month, the wonderful Eddi Reader reflects on a whirlwind year - reuniting with Fairground Attraction, touring the world, and even starting a PhD. She opens up about her home city of Glasgow, reconnecting with old bandmates, rediscovering her passion for music, and what it means to be a working musician after 40 years in the industry.
Author and broadcaster Charlie Connelly shares his fascination with the Shipping Forecast and how it inspired his best-selling book and new stage show, Attention All Shipping. He takes us on a journey through the poetic place names and the enduring magic of this iconic broadcast.
Meanwhile, folk singer-songwriter Reg Meuross brings Woody Guthrie’s legacy to life in Fire and Dust, a powerful musical tribute commissioned by Pete Townshend. He explores Guthrie’s influence, his own creative process, and why these songs still matter today.
Plus, Alison Young picks out some of the must-see shows coming up at The Stables.
Upcoming Events at The Stables:
Eddi Reader – April 10 & 11
Charlie Connelly: Attention All Shipping – March 19
Reg Meuross: Fire and Dust – The Woody Guthrie Story – March 23
