UK Music - Here, There And Everywhere

UK Music recently published their ‘Here, There And Everywhere’ report reflecting on Music Tourism throughout the 12 regions of the UK throughout 2022. We’re delighted to have been featured in their report as a contributor to Scotland’s thriving music scene.

“The Scottish music scene has long been recognised for its rich and diverse offerings, showcasing a remarkable blend of traditional folk music, indie rock, electronic sounds, and everything in between.

Iconic venues such as the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow or The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh attract music-lovers from all over the world. The independent record label, Chemikal Underground, has helped to foster some iconic Scottish music including post-rock band, Mogwai. Meanwhile, Edinburgh International Festival and St Magnus Festival add to the Scottish classical music scene.

At the centre of this musical tapestry is Wide Days, an annual celebration of Scotland’s thriving music industry. It stands as a platform for emerging Scottish artists and provides an invaluable opportunity for networking, collaboration, and discovery. The festival draws in industry professionals, including promoters, labels, agents, and managers, fostering connections that propel Scottish talent onto national and international stages. With a line-up encompassing a multitude of genres, Wide Days captures the essence of Scotland’s musical identity, presenting both established acts and rising stars.”
