SUNDAY MAIL YOUNG SCOT AWARDS
I am so beyond honoured and delighted to say that I have been nominated for the Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards. While I didn’t make it to the finals, it is a pure honour to even be nominated. My name was put forward by MSP Alasdair Allan in the Art Awards section, which for me really is such an unbelievable opportunity. Thank you to everyone and congratulations to all the nominees and finalists. Le gaol, Chloe x ÚNA FEST
I’m really excited to be part of ÚNA’s online festival which will showcase music and other cultural arts from both Latin American and Scottish musicians from various different locations. The online festival begins tomorrow, 23rd July - 27th July. Check out their trailer for more info: https://youtu.be/fPZ26aPMvd8 Tonight should have been my final honours recital performance on the stage in An Lanntair, Stornoway. While I am gutted not to be there tonight, I will never forget and will forever be thankful for the opportunities studying on this course has offered me and the places these opportunities have taken me. I would like to say a special thank you to Simon and Anna-Wendy who are the kindest and most dedicated people imaginable, I am so incredibly grateful for their support over the years. I am also feeling very grateful to have met my absolute best friends for life during my studies - Eilidh Grant Leslie, Kirstie McLanaghan and Karen Brown, I am so lucky to have you all in my life and thank you for being there during the ups and downs - here's to many more with you all and to the next chapter...
So so happy to say that I am this year's winner of the Flora MacDonald Piping Competition. Such a great night had by all and safe to say my Granny is chuffed to bits! :)
I had an absolutely amazing time performing at the Opening Concert of Celtic Connections 2019 last night. It was also amazing to be sharing the stage alongside some fellow Uibhistich, Padruig Morrison and the incredible, Julie Fowlis! Definitely a night to remember! Thank you also to my lovely family who were able to make it along! :) I cannot wait for my EP launch at the Eilean Dorcha Festival (Benbecula) in just two weeks time! I'll be kicking off the launch with a performance in the acoustic tent on SAT 28TH, 3pm.
Don;t forget about my CONCERT LAUNCH on SAT 4TH AUG, 7:30pm in LOCHBOISDALE HOTEL, which will be followed by some live music from Alex & friends! Hope to see as many of you along as possible. Chloe x |
