Two celebrated Fife artists have made it on to the Scottish Music Industry Association’s longlist for the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award.
Kid Canaveral from St Andrews and Beat Band co-founder Steve Mason, originally from Fife but now living in London, have made it on to the list alongside the likes of Edwyn Collins and former T in the Park headliners Biffy Clyro.
Kid Canaveral said: “Given the quality of the albums that have been nominated in the past, we are delighted to be selected this year. Taps aff!”
Steve Mason said: “Having never won an award for any music I have made, it’s a great privilege to be considered for the SAY Award.
“It would be amazing if the only award I ever won for music came from the country of my birth.”
The list shows the abundance of music released between January and December 2013.
