Scottish bands are making a real impact on the music scene. No longer thought of solely for bagpipes and The Proclaimers (who’s music is now in a musical), a number of bands from north of the border have been exploding into the top ten in UK music charts over the past year.
The Fratellis have undoubtedly made an impact, and after winning ‘Best Breakthrough Act’ at the Brit Awards in February, you can guarantee they’ll be around for a while. Singer/songwriter Paulo Nutini has also taken the country by storm with his first album ‘These Streets’ being followed up with a tour which has quickly sold out in a number of venues in the UK.
