From Pop-art influences to landscape, through advertising and the contested area of Appropriation, much-loved and truly versatile artist Dick Frizzell has always immersed himself in the art around him. In 'Me, According To The History of Art, a journey from cave art through Rubens and Tintoretto to Cezanne and Lichtenstein', Frizzell sets out to track the historical threads that sit within his DNA as a 21st- century artist. It's a fun romp, sitting on a bedrock of serious scholarship and reverence for the painters of the past, with masterful re-imaginings of key work. In conversation with Finlay Macdonald, the art history lesson you've been waiting for unfolds in all its colourful glory. AUCKLAND WRITERS FESTIVAL WAITUHI O TĀMAKI 2021

This episode of Adam Sutherland's Interesting People is a blether and a tune with Donald Shaw and Finlay MacDonald, live from Celtic Connections Festival 2019. In the brochure it's described as the following: Join Adam Sutherland as he chats to some of the festival’s artists in the intimate and stunning setting of the newly refurbished Mackintosh at the Willow Tea Rooms, for a recording of his podcast ‘Adam Sutherland’s Interesting People’. Your host will be skillfully guiding the conversation, finding out what makes the guests tick, what drives them to do what they do and any other stories they may wish to share. This is a rare chance for audience members to learn more about the unique life stories of the people behind the music. Come and listen with a cup of tea and a wee treat in one of Scotland’s architectural masterpieces. It was great to see and hear an audience so thoroughly entertained by these charismatic, intelligent and downright hilarious musicians. And in such beautiful surroundings!
