Scotland

The Scottish Music Centre became an independent organisation in 1985, taking over the Scottish Music Archive, initially housed at the University of Glasgow since 1968.

Seriously Scottish LIVE! promotes a selection of the very best music made in Scotland today. Launched in 2005 at South by South West, the international multimedia and music convention in Austin Texas, the player is a three hour streamed loop of music that allows online access to a broad selection of Scotland's finest music. The radio player serves as a promotional tool at key industry events, where the Scottish Music Centre's previous ventures - 3 double CD volumes of Seriously Scottish released between 2000 and 2004, were distributed. The aim is to encourage international airplay, artist collaboration, distribution and album deals, increased awareness of featured artists and labels, as well as providing an impressive overview of the Scottish music scene.
