Featuring performances from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and world-renowned conductor Donald Runnicles, Music Nation: A Sporting Fanfare brings together world class musical talent and the best of the country‟s young musicians and singers. The event will also feature inspirational tales from some of Scotland‟s former Olympians including sprinter Allan Wells, track legend Liz McColgan, swimming star David Wilkie, Paralympic tandem cyclist Aileen McGlynn, diver Sir Peter Heatly and track star Yvonne Murray. Celebrating the uplifting power of classical music and sporting prowess, the concert will include sporting-themed performances of John Williams‟ Olympic Fanfare, Vangelis‟s theme from Chariots of Fire, Ravel‟s Bolero, music from Carl Orff‟s Carmina Burana and the world premiere of a newly commissioned fanfare from acclaimed Scottish composer James MacMillan.

Nicola Benedetti is delighted to be part of the Glasgow event: “I am thrilled to be taking part in the Scottish contributions to the celebrations for Music Nation in the lead up to the Olympic Games. Music, Culture and Sport play a major part in the lives of people up and down the country and I know from personal experience and with working with Sistema Scotland‟s Big Noise project, that music can be used as an instrument to change the lives and give aspiration to many, many young people. Playing an instrument and taking part in sporting activities are similar – both need hours of practice, commitment, discipline, being part of a team, striving for perfection and of course are a source of great fun! “Scotland is rich in both musical and sporting talent and I am extremely proud to be part of the celebrations on 3rd March which is really all about showcasing the talents of Scotland‟s youth orchestras and choirs as well as hearing about the inspirational achievements of some of Scotland‟s great sporting heroes.” Allan Wells, MBE, says: “The Olympics is such a special event it‟s fitting to celebrate it coming to the UK with this unique music-meets-sport concert in Scotland. As an Olympian myself, I want to support the forthcoming London 2012 Olympics and Music Nation promises to be a night to remember with tremendous music performances and sporting recollections.” Sharon Mair, BBC Scotland Olympics and Commonwealth Editor, adds: “This will be a fantastic evening celebrating excellence and inspiration. It will bring some great Scottish sporting heroes and outstanding musical talent together for a very special event as we head towards the London 2012 Olympics.'

Both clubs are recent winners of this competition – United beat Ross County 3-0 in the 2010 final and Rangers were 1-0 winners against Falkirk a year earlier. The last time the teams met each other in the Scottish Cup they served up a real thriller. A 3-3 draw at Ibrox two years ago was followed up by a 1-0 replay win for United at Tannadice courtesy of a last minute David Robertson goal – with the Taysiders going on to lift the trophy the same season. So far this season the advantage lies with the Glasgow side who have won both league meetings. Introduced by Rob Maclean, the programme also includes a round-up of the previous day‟s matches.Joining Rob in the studio will be Pat Nevin, Bristol City Manager Derek McInnes, who played for both clubs, and former Rangers and Dundee United striker Steven Thompson.

In What Burns Did for Me, Wednesday 25 January at 10.00pm on BBC Two Scotland, Tam visits his old primary school in Motherwell, attempting to re-create the Burns performances of his youth for today‟s pupils. Tam said: “It was an eye opening adventure in which I discover, thanks to Burns, that I‟m actually bi-lingual.” Despite being a former triple winner of the Burns Federation certificate, his efforts have disastrous results, prompting him to try to redeem himself by seeking advice from Burns enthusiasts and specialists before his grand finale in the heart of Burns Country. In Search of Highland Mary follows singer and actress Lorraine McIntosh as she explores the mystery surrounding Mary Campbell, the young girl who allegedly agreed to emigrate with Burns to a new life in the West Indies but who died shortly before their departure.
