EDM 1558: Scottish Album of the Year Award and Dundee

That this House welcomes the announcement that the Scottish Album of the Year Award will be hosted in Dundee in 2025, 2026 and 2027; notes that the event in Dundee’s Caird Hall in November this year will be the first time the event will be hosted outside of Scotland's Central Belt; recognises that this announcement has only been made possible through a three-year partnership between the Scottish Music Industry Association and Leisure and Culture Dundee, V&A Dundee and Unesco Dundee City of Design; further recognises the important role that the host venue, Caird Hall, has played in the history of music in both Tayside and Scotland, bringing acts to Dundee through the years including The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie and Led Zeppelin; recognises that nominations for the coveted prize will open on 1 July; and wishes the organisers of the event and all eventual nominees all the best ahead of the event on 20 November later this year.
