Amy Macdonald is a Multi-Platinum-selling Singer-Songwriter whose unmistakable voice and heartfelt lyrics have made her a standout figure in the music world for over 15 years. She burst onto the scene in 2007 with her debut album 'This Is the Life', which went on to sell over three million copies and topped charts across Europe. Since then she’s released five consecutive UK Top 10 albums, had 12 million sales and over a billion streams and has built a dedicated global fanbase. She has just released her brand new album ‘Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For?’ and her latest single ‘Can You Hear Me?’, where she seeks to inspire the next generation to keep their faith for a brighter future.
In this episode we delve into where Amy's love of music comes from and where she gains inspiration for her songwriting. We discuss the importance of timing when it comes to the 'what if' moments in her life and the concept of luck and hard work. Her three Sliding Doors Moments include: answering an ad for demos in NME that kick started her whole career in music, the decision to give up plans to go to university and follow her music career and the night out that led her to write 'This Is the Life' that changed her life forever!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
