THE Tolbooth has been named as Venue of the Year at this year’s MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards.
The prestigious award ceremony – organised by Hands Up for Trad – brought together the biggest and best names in trad and was broadcast live on BBC ALBA, BBC Radio Scotland and globally through the BBC ALBA website.
Located in the heart of the old town, the Tolbooth is a Stirling Council venue, and is Stirling’s key venue for live music.
Programme and arts development officer at the Tolbooth, Carolyn Paterson, said: "We are so thrilled to be given this award. It is a wonderful endorsement for all the team at the Tolbooth, and for all the tutors, participants, performers and audience.
"It is a real boost as we look to expand our programme into the future and continue to nurture and encourage local talent."
Convenor of the Community Planning and Regeneration Committee, Councillor Chris Kane, said: "Since its reopening in 2002 the venue has offered a nationally respected music programme, along with a complimentary arts programme to encourage participation and learning.
"To be named Venue of the Year is a fantastic accolade and I am pleased for everyone involved with the Tolbooth that their hard work has been recognised."
