The Glasgow grannies brought together by rap music

This group of Glaswegian grannies might be more hip-op than hip hop, but rap music brought them together.

Pensioners Maggie, Susan, Wilma, Betty and Jean had no idea what they were doing when they signed up to join a rap workshop run by Scots comedian Karen Dunbar.

Over four weeks, they channelled love, loss and loneliness into their first rap song and performed it for their community.
