STV Radio is on a mission to uncover the next big Scottish singing sensation, and they've got a star-studded plan to make it happen. The station has joined forces with the legendary Marti Pellow to launch a talent search that will bring fresh faces to the stage at Kelvingrove Bandstand this summer. But here's the exciting part: Ewen Cameron and Cat Harvey from the popular breakfast show 'Ewen and Cat at Breakfast' will be the judges, scouting for three talented performers to open for Marti each night. This isn't just about finding a backup act; it's about discovering the next big name in Scottish music.
Ewen, always passionate about supporting local talent, believes this is a golden opportunity to showcase Scotland's musical prowess. He's keen to highlight the abundance of hidden gems within the country's music scene. Cat, a fellow advocate for emerging artists, joins him in this quest, eager to introduce listeners to new voices that will resonate with audiences.
Marti Pellow, a veteran of the Scottish music scene, is thrilled to be part of this initiative. He's confident that Ewen and Cat will unearth some fresh talent, and he's particularly interested in finding a new singer for each night of his performances. This isn't just about finding a singer; it's about discovering a unique voice that will captivate audiences and potentially launch a new career.
The search begins on Wednesday, June 17th, at 9 a.m., when aspiring singers can upload their audition videos to the STV Radio website. It's a chance for these artists to showcase their talent and gain exposure to a wide audience. The station, accessible through various platforms, including DAB, STV Player, and smart speakers, will be the launchpad for these emerging stars.
This talent search is more than just a competition; it's a celebration of Scottish music and a testament to the station's commitment to supporting local talent. It's a win-win situation, as it not only provides a platform for new artists but also offers listeners the chance to discover fresh and exciting voices that will shape the future of Scottish music.
