Project HAIL is dedicated to developing all areas of the music industry throughout the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, from working artists, record labels, promoters and distributors to those involved in training and developing new talent.
Running from the Shetland Islands in the north to the Mull of Kintyre in the south, the Highlands and Islands of Scotland includes some of the most remote and beautiful parts of Scotland. Successive generations of creative talent have ensured that the areas impact on the world stage has been remarkable. Today a new wave of artists and innovators are carrying on their legacy.
The modern Highlands and Islands have been shaped by a unique blend of cultures over the last 2000 years. In the Northern Isles (Shetland and Orkney), the influence of Norse ancestors is still to be found in the arts and dialect, while the Gaelic culture is evident throughout much of the mainland and Western Isles, and the eastern part of the region has many local traditions that have grown from the Scots language. To this vast cultural mix add the very latest in technological innovations and you have a wealth of vibrant and diverse music ranging from the most traditional to the most contemporary.
Project HAIL began life as HAIL Music in 2000, initially formed as a trade group to represent the record labels in the area, the project has since developed and naturally expanded to work with the breadth and depth of the local music industry. The region has great talent, an excellent track record and is looking for project partners and networking opportunities both at home and internationally.
