It’s great to see past Young Trad winners doing well. Emily Smith (2002 winner) has worked very hard with lots of touring and album releases since 2002. She is a fab interpreter of Scots song and also an accomplished song writer. Emily is about to release her latest album Echoes (release date Feb 24th) and the snippets I’ve heard sound fantastic. Check out the official video below.
If you would like hear the next winner of the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Award why not come along to the City Halls, Glasgow at 5pm on 2nd February. Failing that you will hear the whole final live on BBC Radio Scotland from 5pm to 8pm.
