July 2018 t: 01505 613340 e: info@advertizer.co.uk 49 Music Fans First to Know this Year’s SAY Award Longlist at Special Glasgow Gig On Wednesday 1st August, the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award Longlist will be exclusively revealed in front of a live audience at Glasgow’s renowned King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. ‘Live at the Longlist’ will see performances from previously Longlisted and Shortlisted artists, including a special collaborative set from Stina Tweeddale of Honeyblood and Carla J. Easton of TeenCanteen, as well as a live performance from Emma Pollock, whose album “In Search of Harperfi eld” was shortlisted for The SAY Award in 2016. Emma’s contribution to music in Scotland cannot be overstated, as both a founding member of The Delgados and Chemikal Underground Records, a member of The Burns Unit, and an acclaimed solo artist. Journalist and broadcaster Nicola Meighan will reveal the twenty outstanding Scottish albums which will make up The SAY Award Longlist for 2018, and following the announcement, a cinematic and expansive DJ set from Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite will extend the celebration of Scottish music into the late hours. All proceeds from ‘Live at the Longlist’ will be donated to Help Musicians Scotland, The SAY Award’s charity partner for 2018. In keeping with the authentic grassroot principles which drive the Award, this means that music fans will be the fi rst to hear which albums are in the running for the annual £20,000 prize, and the coveted title of Scottish Album of the Year 2018. A record number of 253 eligible albums were submitted for this year’s SAY Award, and all are available to view and stream at sayaward.com. It is now the task of 100 impartial ‘Nominators’, chosen for their specialisms in sectors including journalism, broadcast and radio, music retail and live music venues, to consider the titles from The SAY Award’s Eligible Albums. Each Nominator lists their fi ve favourite albums, ranking them in order of preference, and Nominators cannot have a commercial interest in any of the albums being discussed. A score is assigned to each title in a Nominator’s Top 5, and once all 100 are collated, the 20 highest scoring albums will make up The SAY Award Longlist for 2018.
