Vote Splore in the Trad Awards 2010!

The Splore Traditional Music School has been a long-running successful project of Aberdeen International Youth Festival, warmly welcoming hundreds of youngsters from Aberdeen and the surrounding areas to develop and showcase their skills during a residency at the festival. Every year, talented young performers and several mentors put in a lot of hard work for results they can be proud of. This year, there is a chance for these efforts to be rewarded with a TRAD AWARD.
Hands up for Trad are an organisation dedicated to increasing the profile and visibility of Scottish traditional music, and their coveted annual awards; the Trad Awards, recognise people and groups that promote these goals through the work that they do. The Splore has been nominated in the category EVENT OF THE YEAR.
This is a category where the winner is decided by popular vote, so to make sure Splore gets the recognition it deserves, make sure you vote for it! Please take the small amount of time to do this - simply go to the Hands up for Trad website (http://www.handsupfortrad.co.uk/index.htm), and follow the instructions for voting found there.
Splore needs you!
