Snow Patrol to headline awards night celebrating Scottish music
ONE of the country’s biggest bands will be headlining an end-of-year awards show in Glasgow celebrating the best in Scottish music.
The SSE Scottish Music Awards will be returning later this year with performances from nominees Snow Patrol and Tom Grennan.
Celebrating 20 years of raising funds for Nordoff Robbins Scotland, a music therapy charity, the show will be the biggest event of its kind in the city to date.
After years of taking place in the Old Fruitmarket, the SSE Scottish Music Awards has moved to the larger venue of the SEC for the event on Saturday, December 1.
The 2018 star-studded ceremony will not only reflect on an incredible year for Scotland, but also on the music and artists who have been providing the soundtrack for a nation for 20 years.
Colin Banks, head of sponsorship and Reward for SSE, said: “We’re extremely proud to support Nordoff Robbins Scotland and look forward to a very special 20th edition of the SSE Scottish Music Awards.”
Colin added: “The event has become a landmark in the Scottish music calendar and every year proves instrumental in sustaining the vital work of the charity and its life-changing therapists.”
Over the years, artists including Annie Lennox, Paolo Nutini, Emeli Sande and Biffy Clyro as well as the latest up-and-coming artists – such as Lewis Capaldi and Nina Nesbitt – have been recognised at the ceremony.
