Musical director for such productions as The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, The James Plays and more recently Midsummer and Twelfth Night, Aly describes his discovery of music and drama in deepest Ayrshire, how a night out at Kelso Folk Club turned into one of the most famous pieces of theatre to come out Scotland in recent years and just how far you can get on grade 2 piano. Thanks for listening!

Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie

Collectively known as Noisemaker, they’re the team behind the music and lyrics of “My Left/Right Foot”, and the currently in development, “My Name is Ben”. They joined me for episode 50(!) to talk all things writing and musical theatre before they set off for the states where their new show has its premiere early next year.

Thanks as ever for the responses to the show and for sharing the podcast on social media. The episodes are gradually reaching more and more people and hopefully making a positive impact as they do! Thanks for listening!
