Fans will be given a chance to vote for the shortlist from August 12 ahead of the final ceremony in Edinburgh’s Assembly Rooms on Friday September 6.

Robert Kilpatrick, Scottish Music Industry Association general manager, said: “Each year the announcement of The SAY Award Longlist allows us to take a step back and feel proud of our cultural identity as a nation.

“It gives us a chance to both shout about and reflect on who we are, as well as celebrate the passion, creativity and vibrancy of Scottish music in all its incredible diversity and glory.

“With the longlist having been selected from the votes of 100 impartial music industry nominators, it truly is the product of an extraordinary nationwide consultation and showcases 20 incredible Scottish records to the world that are both important and valued artistic works.”
