Here's what's coming up in tonight's selection of highlights.

All you have to do is search for Quay Sessions.

But first, a Manchester-based artist who's already going global

and who dropped by on the week of his album release.

This is JP Cooper.

# Cos she ain't by my side

# I've seen a lot of pretty faces

# Ain't nobody like you

# And I've never had a love like

# The one we knew

# Tell me why I had to play the clown

# Always messing around

# I can't stop thinking how I let you down, down, down

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# I can't sleep at night

# Cos she ain't by my side

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# I can't sleep at night

# Cos she ain't by my side

# I can't sleep at night

# Cos she ain't by my side

# My friends say that she's a keeper

# But I let her go

# Didn't know how much I need her

# Till I was on my own

# I've been drinking but the truth won't drown

# Oh, the truth won't drown

# Bad medicine won't go down, down, down

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# I can't sleep at night

# Cos she ain't by my side

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# I can't sleep at night

# Cos she ain't by my side

# Oh, the cover's over

# If I could dream I'd hold you

# Can't stop thinking

# Am I even on your mind?

# And now the nights are colder

# Miss you on my shoulder

# Miss your hair on my cheek

# Every night

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# I can't sleep at night

# Cos she ain't by my side

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# I can't sleep at night

# On my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# I can't sleep at night

# On my mind

# Oh, the cover's over

# Miss you on my shoulder

# Miss your hair on my cheek every night

# She's on my mind

# She's on my mind

# On my mind

# She's on my mind

# I can't sleep at night

# Cos she ain't by my side. #

CHEERING

# Was it never enough to make you think twice?

# Was it too much to be honest when you looked in my eyes?

# I've seen it all before

# And it's happening again

# Behind closed doors

# Why do we pretend?

# Tears never dry

# While you're in denial

# Why don't you run away, run away, run away, run away

# You'll never find

# The truth in your lies

# Why don't you run away, run away, run away, run away

# Into the high life

# Into the high life

# Into the high life

# Into the high life

# Did you find all the treasure

# All the glitter and gold?

# Did you get all the answers on the Yellow Brick Road?

# I dreamt it all before

# In the depths of mind

# Chasin' a past

# That I'll never find

# Tears never dry

# While you're in denial

# Why don't you run away, run away, run away, run away

# You'll never find

# The truth in the lies

# Why don't you run away, run away, run away, run away

# Into the high life

# Into the high life

# Into the high life

# Into the high life

# I'm no hero

# Waitin' on an explanation

# Who loves you the most?

# Who gets the most attention?

# Tears never dry

# While you're in denial

# Why don't you run away, run away, run away, run away

# You'll never find

# The truth in your lies

# Why don't you run away, run away, run away, run away

# Into the high life

# Into the high life

# Into the high life

# Into the high life. #

Thank you so much.

APPLAUSE

Have a lovely night. Enjoy it. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for Newton Faulkner.

APPLAUSE

This the title track off...

this is my sixth album. I've done loads of them now.

This is the title track off the new album,

which is called Hit The Ground Running, which goes like this.

# Wasted nights spent on my own

# Lights are on, but

# There's just me at home

# And I guess that's all right

# I keep falling down, but when I hit the ground

# I know I'll hit the ground running

# I keep falling down when I hit the ground

# I know I'll hit the ground running

# It's a long and winding road

# Breaks me down, but I come back twice as strong

# So I guess that's all right

# I keep falling down, but when I hit the ground

# I know I'll hit the ground running

# I keep falling down when I hit the ground

# I know I'll hit the ground running

# It's so hard to keep on moving

# When you're always the one left behind

# So close I can almost see it

# Always greener on the other side

# Wasted nights spent on my own

# Lights are on, but

# There's just me at home

# So I guess that's all right

# I keep falling down, but when I hit the ground

# I know I'll hit the ground running

# I keep falling down when I hit the ground

# I know I'll hit the ground running. #

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

Newton Faulkner showing off those one-man-band skills of his.

And we go from that to one of Scotland's most gifted songwriters,

who took a break from his usual gig with Deacon Blue

to give us a very special solo set at the piano.

Complete with string section.

This is Ricky Ross.

# I was right and you were wrong, girl

# Nothing lasts forever

# Inside every one of us

# There's only so long

# I believe the longest day, girl

# The lovely light of May, girl

# I asked if I could ever leave

# I never saw a change

# But I will

# What I say

# What I do

# But I will

# What I say

# What I do

# I was right and you were wrong, girl

# Never seems the same

# I heard you on the radio

# Your voice was so strange

# But I will

# What I say

# What I do

# But I will

# What I say

# What I do

# But I will

# What I say

# What I do

# But I will

# What I say

# What I do

# Yes, I will

# What I say

# What I do. #

APPLAUSE

# Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter

# And what do you know better than your own secrets?

# I know it's better to keep them

# And what do you know better than your own secrets?

# I know it's better to keep them secret

# Big bang, bigger bang, bigger, bigger bang

# I get dressed, I go out, I look up

# Too many stars to comprehend

# Yes, there's too many other workers in the call, call centre

# I can't comprehend what's in my head any better than the wise men

# And what do you know better than your own secrets?

# I know it's better to keep them

# And what do you know better than your own secrets?

# I know it's better to keep them

# Where the water

# Leads me back

# To the thrill of return

# Past old Nine Mile Burn

# And the water

# Leads me back

# Well, the four winds still blow

# They cut through my tornado soul

# And the water

# Leads me back

# To the shore

# Where the water

# Leads me back

# With a child on the way

# What a bright twist of fate

# And the water

# Leads me back

# Well, you seem so benign

# Now I drink in your strength

# And the water

# Leads me back

# To the shore

# And I trace and I curve

# In a pool of your love

# Your still line runs on and on

# Through each resolute weir

# Where the colour runs clear

# I see your shapes on the way to my door

# And the water

# Leads me back Listen

# To the shore... #

Hey!

Hey!

# Well, the water

# Leads me back

# With a pout I can't name

# And my life recreated

# Well, the water

# Leads me back

# Oh, the corpse of regret

# Is a willow green powder keg

# And the water

# Leads me back

# To the shore

# Well

# To the shore

# And I crave and I curve

# In a pool of your love

# Your silhouette runs on and on

# Through its resolute weir

# Where the colour runs clear

# I see your shapes on the way to my door

# Oh, ah, ah, ah

# The water

# Leads me back

# To the shore

# To the shore

# To the shore

# Oh, and I wanted to go

# Come on

# Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh

# Oh, I wanna

# Ah, oh, and I wanted to go

# And I want, and I wanted, and I wanted to go

# Yeah

# And I wanted to go

# To the sea

# I wanted to go

# To the shore. #

What about these guys?

APPLAUSE

Utterly spellbinding stuff from Ross Wilson

and his expert band of players.

And it wouldn't be the Quay Sessions without our audience,

so if you'd like to be with us

then all you have to do is head to...

..to apply for tickets.

But to play us out,

more Scottish legends.

It's Hue & Cry.

CHEERING

# You said, you recall about seven years ago now

# You said that you we're so tough

# And I loved it, I did

# Loved you for putting me down in a totally new way

# Down with the bad old, sad old days

# Well

# Get away now

# But now, too much pain for too little gain

# And I feel like I'm gonna fight back right now

# Gonna withdraw my labour of love

# Gonna strike for the right to get into your heart

# Withdraw my labour of love

# Gonna strike for the right to get into your cold heart

# Ain't gonna work for you no more

# Ain't gonna work, no

# Do no more

# Ha, easy, I noticed you said it never was gonna be easy

# But not this hard

# You are, you are so cold, so cold

# The romance goes when the promises break

# My mistake was to love you a little too much

# Gonna withdraw my labour of love

# Strike for the right to get into your heart

# Withdraw my labour of love

# Strike for the right to get into your heart

# Withdraw my labour of love

# Strike for the right to get into your heart

# Withdraw my labour of love

# Got to strike for the right to get into your cold heart

# Ain't gonna work for you no more

# Ain't gonna work for you no more

# I just can't stand it

# I said, I do not want it

# Never gonna need it anyway, baby

# I can't stand it

# I said, I just don't want it

# Never gonna need it anyway

# I don't want you, babe, I don't need you, babe

# I don't need your tricks and treats

# I said, I don't need your ministration, your bad determination

# I've had enough of you and your super-bad crew

# I don't need your, I don't need your

# Pseudo-satisfaction, baby

# I just can't stand it I said, I do not want it

# Never gonna need it anyway, baby

# I can't stand it, I don't want it

# I don't need your pseudo-satisfaction, baby

# Withdraw my labour of love

# Too much pain, too much pain, too much pain, baby

# Withdraw my labour of love

# Got to strike for the right to get into your heart

# Withdraw my labour of love

# Strike for the right to get into your heart

# Withdraw my labour of love

# Got to strike for the right to get into your cold heart

# Ain't gonna work for you no more. #
