EH-FM SAY Award Special – 22 Jul (Listen Again)
Listen back to our Scottish Album of the Year Award Special on EH-FM ahead of the Live at the Longlist event at The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh on 26 July
Ahead of the longlist for the 2019 Scottish Album of the Year (SAY Award) being announced at the Live at the Longlist event on Friday 26 July at The Queen's Hall, I (Tallah Brash) put together a Scottish special featuring an extended look at the SAY Award, past and future. At one point I was joined in the EH-FM studio by the biggest bee I've ever seen, and I generally had a very nice time playing a lot of great Scottish music.
