'The next thing we're all jumping and dancing on the tables together'.

Singer-songwriter Callum Beattie’s preparations for the biggest concert of his career took an unexpected turn this week when he found himself partying with Scotland’s World Cup heroes.
In the Scotcast studio, he tells Martin and Laura about what music does for him, his challenging childhood and what John McGinn told his auntie.
