The Specsavers Scottish Music Awards made its Barrowlands debut last year with performances from Wet Wet Wet, Amy McDonald and Nina Nesbitt. The event honoured international industry veterans and upcoming artists alike, with Biffy Clyro bagging the Best Live Award and Bow Anderson picking up Best Pop Act, among others.

£180,000 of vital funds were raised from the evening, ensuring Nordoff Robbins could continue to provide music therapists and sessions to those who need them most.

Sandra Schembri, CEO, Nordoff Robbins, commented: “At Nordoff Robbins, we passionately believe in using the power of music to help people from all walks of life connect and communicate. We’re incredibly grateful to the Scottish music industry for its continued support of our cause through the annual Scottish Music Awards, with all funds raised going directly towards providing vital music therapy to those in need.

"We also thank all of the sponsors – including headline partner Specsavers – for their support, and look forward to celebrating the vastly talented and vibrant Scottish music scene on the night itself.”

Edith Bowman said: “I cannot wait for this year’s Specsavers Scottish Music Awards after the amazing event at the Barrowland Ballroom last November.

"It has been another incredible year for Scottish music, and I’m looking forward to hosting some of our top talent and fans, whilst raising money for Nordoff Robbins, supporting them to deliver their remarkable services to those in need.

"Scotland’s music scene is so unique and special, and the Barrowlands really captures that spirit, not to mention the epic live performances that the Scottish Music Awards guarantees.”

More acts are set to be announced in the coming weeks with tickets for the show now on sale.
