The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the piper and whistle player from Dingwall, Ali Levack, on being named BBC Radio Scotland’s Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2020; notes that Ali, who was a finalist in 2018, became the 20th recipient of this prestigious award following an outstanding performance at the City Halls, Glasgow, which was broadcast live on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC ALBA as part of Celtic Connections; understands that, as part of the award, he has won a recording session with BBC Scotland, will perform at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2020 and has been given a one-year membership to the Musicians' Union; believes that, since its launch in 2001, this annual competition had played a significant role in increasing the profile of traditional music and recognising rising talent in the genre; commends the other finalists, including those hailing from the Highlands and Islands, Josie Duncan, Pàdruig Morrison and Mhairi Mackinnon, on their efforts, and wishes them, and Ali, continued success.
