Excellent idea , loved the discussion on Janice’s show . l would definetly vote for a Scottish Album of the Year , having bought over 150 albums last year and many of them by Scottish artists , new and established .
Thanks Graeme, good to hear some feedback! I think that there will be no shortage of candidates for Scottish album of the year.
We’re not even a month and a half into 2010 and I can already think of a few likely candidates. This is indeed a great idea and should get everyone thinking about who deserves that award, from all styles of music.
