The 20th Scots Trad Music Awards will be held on December 4, 2022, in the Caird Hall in Dundee. The aim of the awards is to champion top Scottish traditional musicians of all genres, recognising and celebrating the wealth of talent, and bring it to the media spotlight.
Pipers, pipe bands, piping CDs, piping media, piping tutors, pipe-driven folk bands and piping organisations all have been nominated for awards in various categories, and I’m sure they would all appreciate your vote.

Festival; Isle of Arran Music School (Pipe Band); Tartan Tunes; The Big Rab Show; Brighde Chaimbeul; Malin Lewis; Ross Miller; Breabach; Eabhal; Mànran; Skerryvore; Trail West; James Duncan MacKenzie; and Chris Waite (Gran’s House).
