Maybe I'm Amazed - John Harris with Nicola Meighan

Saturday, 8 November, 2025, 9.15 p.m.

Glasgow Concert Hall, Strathclyde Suite, Killermont St, Glasgow G2 3NW

Award-winning writer, journalist, podcaster and presenter John Harris joins BBC Radio Scotland’s Nicola Meighan in conversation about his extraordinary memoir, Maybe I’m Amazed: A Story of Love and Connections in 10 Songs.

The book tells the touching story of how music-lover John opened up the world to his son James, diagnosed with autism at age three, one song at a time.

“When James and I listen to songs, or play them, we meet in the intersection between us, defined by the ineffable and magical, and what music ultimately is: a soundtrack to life, and all its joy, sadness, tragedy and wonder.”

Anyone who has fallen in love with a band or heard their life reflected back at them by a song will recognise themselves in Maybe I’m Amazed. Combining the personal and the universal, it has lessons in listening and living for us all.
