Today Elaine chats with Scottish based artist Katie Slater and Rona Johnston about their new show Mary: A GIG Theatre Show. They talk about finding other creatives you click with, their passion for music and theatre and their joy at discovering the marrying of the two in Gig Theatre. We also talk the inspiration for the show and there is a little unmixed snippet at the end of the episode of one of their original songs.
