Scottish music (2000–2009)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Scottish music (2000–09))

During the decade of the 2000s many Scottish bands and individual performers made recordings in the rock, Scottish folk, Celtic fusion, and other genres. Scottish music received support from two public bodies: the Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Enterprise.[1] Scotland's largest city Glasgow was described by Time magazine in 2004 as "Europe's capital of rock music",[2] and became a UNESCO City of Music in 2008.[3] The decade brought the deaths of Scottish musicians Kirsty MacColl and Martyn Bennett.
