WINTER NEWS
AWARDS
The band are delighted with the acheivements of Julie and Jenna last weekend in this years Scottish Traditional Music awards. Julie was the winner of the ‘ Gaelic singer of the year’ award and Jenna received the ‘Best up and coming soloist’ award. Unfortunately we couldn’t all be in Edinburgh on Saturday night for the ceremony but those that were there had a great night. However, some of us that didn’t make it were lucky enough to hear a live broadcast of ‘Thoir mo Shoraidh’ from the Queen’s Hall at 2am! Cheers girls! Well done to Simon and all at Footstompin for making the night another success.
The band are also delighted for Julie as she has been nominated for a Horizon Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards! This award is one which recognises the finest emerging artists in the folk scene. The awards ceremony will take place in London on February 6th. Fingers crossed!!
