That the Parliament congratulates Benedict Morris from Glasgow on winning the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year award; notes that Benedict is currently in his final year at the Royal Conservatoire, studying on the BMus classical course; understands that the prize for winning this award includes a recording session with BBC Scotland in Glasgow, an opportunity performance at the Scots Traditional Music Awards and one year's membership of the Musicians Union; believes that Benedict’s win highlights the opportunities that a musical education can provide for young people; supports calls to improve the availability and quality of music tuition for young people in schools across Scotland, and wishes Benedict every success with his current project, which is a collaboration with the guitarist, Cormac Crummey.
