"Britain's number one tennis player Andy Murray will be joined by his mother and brother on stage next month to discuss the importance of sport to young people.

Andy, Judy and Jamie Murray will top the bill at the first in a series of RBS Museum Talks in which they are expected to discuss their careers and passion for sport.

The event, hosted by Jonathan Overend, will take place in the Grand Gallery of the newly-refurbished National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, on February 7, and is to be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Mrs Murray will also highlight her new Set4Sport initiative, supported by the Royal Bank of Scotland, which aims to help parents and children develop their sporting skills."

What a great idea. Would love to be there but only arrive in Glasgow on the 9th. If only I'd known.

I phoned about getting tickets, but they said due to a problem with the online service, not sure if there are any tickets left so they'll give me a phone if any left

They've got 4 pages filled with names to call back......

[pabbers]

Looks like Andy should deffo be playing DC then.....

[SamP]

Ah man...i'll be there on the Sunday though.

[TPW]

"This event is now fully booked".

[JAMES4578]

It's been reported that Andy is indeed still taking part in the event though of course he's had to pull out of DC, on 5 live for those of us who either couldn't be there or were uinable to obtain tickets.

[lynne]

From Jamie.......

Hope it is ok to post this here for everyone to see:)

[JAMES4578]

Somehow I thought this was being broadcast live! However, turns out it'll be on 5 live at 7.30 pm on Thursday.

[Sallydaisy]

I thought it was on live too James; the tweets from Jon Overend implied as such.
Ah, well. I'm working tonight so wouldn't be able to listen anyway whereas I can on Thursday.

Great tweets from @tennisscotland on the event! As well as tweets from Ntnl Museums Scotland (https://twitter.com/#!/NtlMuseumsScot)

[JAMES4578]

Would have preferred the earlier time, but can certainly still catch it!

[Linda]

Ah, now it's later I'll be able to see it!

[cazza99]

Later is better for me :)

[xenon21]

Later is better for me too. Oddly enough yesterday, 9 p.m. was a time stuck in my head for the Murrays tomorrow but was the wrong time, till now ;)

[Gary D]

I'm scheduled to be out at 9.00 tonight (playing tennis....). Is it likely to be on the i-player or broadcast again?

To answer my own question....from Jonathan Overend on twitter.... "The programme will still be the full duration and will be available as a podcast afterwards"

[JAMES4578]

Good news for those who can't tune in tonight!

Thanks to Jamie and Judy for promoting our show so well on twitter! Now all we need - and he did promise to return - is the other guy..

[Jan]

I'll have to listen to it on i-player

[Katie]

I really enjoyed listening to the talk, very interesting! :)

[MurrayAOne]

It was excellent. Such a knowledgeable discussion. I hope the people who make decisions in British tennis were listening.

[JAMES4578]

yes great show-really enjoyed it, informative and entertaining! Hopefully some of the powers that be will take notice!

[Fina]

Really interesting talk - and good to see it getting a prime slot on 5live.
Hope Matthew Syed gave someone in Team Murray a copy of his book 'Bounce: the myth of talent and the power of practice' I know Andy likes to keep things simple, but Matthew really seemed to empathise with Andy's comments on trying to deal with nerves in big-match moments etc. Though with Andy not being a great reader.....
But I'm sure Lendl will be on the case.

[xenon21]

An audience with the Murrays is up on bbc iplayer here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01bnfdw/5_live_Sport_An_Audience_with_Andy_Murray/)

[-J-]

spent the last 90 minutes riveted to this :clap::clap:

[SamP]

Always liked Matthew Syed when he was a table tennis player, great to see how well he's doing as a journalist.

I listened to it all on the bus this morning, really good chat, everyone came across well and some interesting points made. Felt like a bit of a fool snigger away at the jokes on a crowded bus though, ah well.

[SamP]

Totally amazing, what a performance.
