Jamie McGrigor, Highlands & Islands Conservative MSP, yesterday welcomed the University of the Highlands & Islands’ recognition of the important economic role of the live music sector at Education Question Time in the Scottish Parliament. Jamie highlighted the UHI’s “Beyond Creativity” event which was designed to give students an insight into the work of the Highlands and Islands’ music industry entrepreneurs, including Steve Robertson and Joe Gibbs, the founder of the Belladrum Tartan Heart festival.
Commenting today Jamie said:
“ Live music festivals such as Belladrum’s Tartan Heart attract thousands of people to the Highlands & Islands and are a real boost to the tourism sector.
“ The UHI is to be congratulated for recognising the importance of the sector to the economy of the Highlands & Islands and encouraging its students to be aware of the job opportunities it provides.”
