The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the musical event, Music is our Language, which will be held in the Maryhill Community Centre as part of Celtic Connections; notes the event will be held on the evening of 22 January 2020 and is hosted by the Maryhill Integration Network; welcomes that the event will celebrate music from across the world with live performances, international food and fun for all the family; notes that this event is funded by BEMIS Scotland and Celtic Connections in the Community, and is supported by UNISON and the Scottish Government, which wishes to facilitate diverse, multicultural celebrations; believes that immigration has enriched Scotland’s communities, and considers that, fittingly, Music is our Language will provide an opportunity for Maryhill’s increasingly diverse community to experience a showcase of the best of Scotland’s contemporary cultural traditions and support work with professional artists to bring a special collaborative performance to Glasgow’s world-renowned music festival.
