Only 1 week to the finals of the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Award 2016! The finals will be broadcast live on BBC Radio Scotland between 5 and 8pm. It’s also available on BBC iPlayer worldwide so you’ve no excuses for not listening! The finalists are:
Hannah Macrae – fiddle (Lochaber)
Mohsen Amini – concertina (Glasgow)
Jessica Burton – clarsach (Orkney)
Murray Willis – accordion (Lismore)
Robbie Greig – fiddle (Edinburgh)

It’s always a great show with the young musicians playing out of their skins to try and win the competition. You will also get the chance to hear a 30 minute set from last years winner Claire Hastings playing songs from her brand new album!
The finalists will have had a great weekend in the run up going to see concerts, rehearsing and the famous Celtic Connections late night club (hopefully not too late!). In the meantime visit the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician 2016 Web page for more information on the finalists.
