Kenneth TaylorGUEST
We've got formal educational links with each of those, but we also go and attend their concerts.
Kenneth TaylorGUEST
We're in walking distance of the Usher Hall, and the Queen's Hall here and last year we took them out to 20 concerts in the evening and you know we're talking about an attendance typically of between 20 and 30 at those evening concerts which is a wonderful way for them to experience music together learn about new repertoire.
Kenneth TaylorGUEST
And it's quite exciting when they can see some of their teachers in the audience, not in the audience, in the orchestras as well, playing for them, you know.
Nikki MillerHOST
Yeah, no, I imagine, yeah.
KaiGUEST
It was at the beginning of this year when I think they were doing a tour.
KaiGUEST
um and i think their album's actually just been was nominated for a mercury prize they're still releasing stuff that's actually like arguably still as good or as good quality as it was in the 90s um but they just don't i don't know what it is i mean like we i saw them in is Usher Hall, and it was busy, but it wasn't sold out, mad crowds, anything on the same level as other legacy artists from the 90s.
KaiGUEST
Similar in that sense as well is a group like Manic Street Preachers as well.
KaiGUEST
Both of them, I know they've been doing co-tours across the UK for the past couple of years as well.
Niki HutchisonHOST
Almost everybody starts at stage three, amplify.
Niki HutchisonHOST
Get out there, be visible, which is a bit like booking the Royal Albert Hall or the Usher Hall for my Scottish friends before you've written a single song.
Niki HutchisonHOST
If people don't know exactly who you are, who you're for and why nobody else can do what you do, that's position.
Niki HutchisonHOST
And you can't say it in a way that lands instantly, that's message.

Jim GellatlyGUEST
We're gonna have the very first, uh, official sort of big, uh, remembrance event for Scotland at the Usher Hall, hosted by Mark McKenzie with some amazing military bands on the eve of Re- Remembrance, Saturday the 7th of November.
Jim GellatlyGUEST
And, and 'cause I'm, I'm a big fan of new music coming out of Scotland, uh, so there's a singer-songwriter called Ben Walker who's from Montrose, uh, in the northeast of Scotland.
Jim GellatlyGUEST
He's going to be performing, and he's been sort of one of my tips, uh, for success over the past few years, so I'm very excited that, that he's playing this.
Brian KennedyGUEST
