Shetland Youth Music Festival Secures Important Funding
The motion
That the Parliament celebrates the news that the Shetland Youth Music Festival has secured a major £5,000 funding award from Shetland Charitable Trust; understands that the grant provides the funding needed to run 2025’s programme of events, which will take place in Lerwick's Mareel, from 17 to 20 March; appreciates that the festival is self-funded through sponsorship and donations and that it enjoyed a hugely successful event in 2024, with over 600 young musicians involved; further appreciates that this year's festival is open to all young people of secondary school age in full-time education in Shetland, with the syllabus and entry forms available online, and wishes all of the organisers all the best as they prepare for another brilliant festival.
