Our new podcast series, titled North Rising, will follow the SMIA’s Blue Kirkhope who will travel across the country; from the southern borders across the central belt and around Highlands and Islands, singing the praises of people who play a key part in the Scottish music industry. By doing so we are able to better understand how we can bring value to and nurture those representing and contributing to our already vibrant cultural identity. Our artwork is by Blue Kirkhope and our music is by Kim Moore.
