A new radio documentary about the 35-year career of acclaimed Scottish band The Trashcan Sinatras will air on Radio Nova this weekend.
Formed in Irvine on the west coast of Scotland in 1986, Frank Reader, Paul Livingstown, and John Douglas - who is married to Eddi Reader of Fairground Attraction - were and are masters of melodic jangle pop, who overcame financial struggles and health issues to release albums such as Cake, I've Seen Everything, and Weightlifting.

Produced by Ken Sweeney, entertainment correspondent for the Irish Sun, the programme airs on Radio Nova this Sunday, 26 May at 9pm and will be the latest in a series of radio documentaries on the station.
Sweeney, who was himself in Irish band Brian in the early nineties, previously produced award-winning documentaries such as R.E.M.: Out of Athens, In Search of The Blue Nile and The Go-Betweens & The Irish Writers.
"I’m staggered that no one has made a radio documentary about The Trashcan Sinatras before," Sweeney says.
"The stories the band told me blew my mind, as did the opportunity to turn it into a soundscape of their beautiful music with the help of Grammy-nominated engineer Billy Farrell and Radio Nova.
"The Trashcan Sinatras are great company, and their stories will have you laughing and reminiscing."
