00:19 fire cuts that are about to happen in two or three weeks. We'll be speaking to the Fire
00:23 Brigade Union about their concerns and the impact they will have on local stations. It's
00:27 one of the contentious issues that sparked a huge political backlash. We have all the
00:31 latest in this week's 5 Free Press. We also report on the King's Live Lounge Gracotti
00:36 which is a brand new initiative which will bring even more live music to town. Woodside
00:40 at the King's is an amalgamation of the King's Live Lounge and the Woodside Hotel which was
00:45 a great live venue over the last few years bringing some big names to the area. Tom Robinson,
00:50 Glenn Tilbrook, the late Rad Noakes, Martin Stevenson and many many more. We hear about
00:55 their plans which kick in November and onwards with lots of gigs coming up. Gracotti's Big
01:00 Walking Festival gets underway as well this week. Nine days of events. It's a really packed
01:04 programme with the biggest yet and some fantastic events taking place as well including a walk
01:10 on the dark side here at Gracotti's darker side and of course even a murder mystery at
01:14 Beveridge Park where you have to solve whodunit and whodunit is who killed a local councillor
01:19 and dumped his body in the woods. That'll keep folk talking. And in sport there's a
01:23 great story of a Gracotti rugby player who made his debut for Scotland in 1998 but he
01:29 only got his cap this month. Read why and also what it means to him in this week's press.
