We have released a special edition of the Foot Stompin’ Free Scottish music podcast in two parts – A & B. I tried to make it one podcast but it was 3 hours long! Podcast A goes up to Instrumentalist of the Year and podcast B starts at Live Act of the Year. The combined playlist is below. Nominees in bold are the ones that are played. Hope you in joy – it is a feast of brilliant Scottish music!
