A
Celebration of the Dewar Awards
Monday 23rd January 2012, 7.30pm
St Andrew's in
the Square
Founded in 2002 as an apt ongoing
memorial to Scotland’s inaugural First Minister Donald Dewar
(1937-2000), the Dewar Arts Awards exist to “to give exceptionally
talented young people of meagre means some assistance in fulfilling
their potential in any branch of the arts.” This 10th anniversary
celebration, curated by current Awards trustee Sheena Wellington,
features some of the many traditional musicians who’ve benefited
from the scheme, be it in recording albums or acquiring new
instruments, including flautist/singer Nuala Kennedy,
fiddlers Lauren MacColl and Graham
Mackenzie, piper Angus Nicolson, harper Fraya Thomsen
and Mharhi Baird (flute, tenor banjo and Scots song).
