Provost Bob Winter speaks with Mark Sheridan immediately after the announcement, and talks about what the award will mean for the city.
The Lord Provost said: “It is wonderful to be accepting the UNESCO City of Music Award on behalf of Glasgow. I must say how thrilled I am that Glasgow’s rich and varied musical heritage has been recognised by UNESCO. We embrace the award on behalf of our talented musicians and composers whose work has contributed to our great city being given the permanent prestige of being a City of Music.
“I am confident this can only boost our musical ambitions and encourage and nurture future musical talent. The city has just enjoyed a marvellous week hosting piping with Piping Live and the World Pipe Band Championships and this announcement confirms what we all knew – Glasgow’s musical credentials are world class.”
