At June’s council meeting Councillor Steve Burgess lodged a motion requesting that the Lord Provost marks the latest accolade for one of the capital’s bands. His motion read:
Congratulates Edinburgh-based ska band Bombskare for winning the prodigious ‘UK Best Part-Time Band’ award.
Notes the BBC competition received more than 1,200 applications from bands across the UK playing all kinds of popular music, culminating in a BBC2 Grand Finale on 17 June.
Welcomes that the competition is part of a campaign to inspire and encourage music lovers, amateur musicians and lapsed players to pick up instruments and recognises the contribution of such part-time musicians to Edinburgh’s vibrant music scene.
Requests that on behalf of the Council the Lord Provost acknowledges the band’s success in an appropriate manner.”
