Twin Atlantic join Simple Minds and Lewis Capaldi as performers and nominees at Scottish Music Awards

Scots band Twin Atlantic have been announced as the latest addition to the Specsavers Scottish Music Awards 2019 line up.

Also gracing the stage at the awards are Simple Minds, Tom Walker, Joesef and Be Charlotte.

Lewis Capaldi and Auntie Flo have also been revealed as nominees.

The now sold-out awards ceremony will be hosted by Edith Bowman.

The awards return for their 21st year, raising vital funds for Nordoff Robbins, a charity which uses music to enrich the lives of people affected by illness, isolation or disability.

As well as performing at the awards, Twin Atlantic have been nominated in the Hard Rock Cafe Glasgow Best Rock Band category.

Speaking about their nomination, Twin Atlantic lead singer Sam McTrusty said: “There’s an element of truth in the nomination, so it feels pretty good to be nominated. I’d put us up there with the best doing it right now in the country. It feels nice to be recognised.”
