A new home for Scotland's thriving ​new music scene

From 9-10pm every Monday to Friday, we play the best, most exciting new Scottish music on Central FM.

The goal

To support and celebrate emerging musicians and bands, and to connect our listeners with local talent from all over Scotland.

Get involved

If you're a band or musician based in Scotland, I would love for you to upload your music ​for review. 

​We play a huge array of genres, from pop, rock and electronic, to folk, country and indie.

​Click the button below to access the music uploader form, which gives you a chance to share your music, your story, and any upcoming gigs I can promote.

Uploading doesn't guarantee the track(s) will be played on the show, but if any of your music is selected, you'll receive an email from me to let you know. 

Spread the word!

Share this page with any band/artist who might like to be featured, and with all the music lovers in your life who could do with a playlist refresh.

How it came to be

I have always loved discovering new music from emerging artists, and firmly believe that not enough spaces exist to celebrate the talent on our doorstep.

In 2025, I put out word on TikTok that I was looking for Scottish musicians to discover and support, and the response was overwhelming.
​
​​Hundreds of messages flooded my inbox, all pointing to new songs, albums, artists and concerts - each with amazing potential.

​Beginning as a series of videos, the engagement confirmed what I already knew: the demand was there... all we needed was a platform. ​

Upon joining Central FM, I was delighted to be able to bring these artists with me, and to launch a brand-new showcase each night, for an hour dedicated to the best of new Scottish music.

Scotland is brimming with music and creativity, and as presenter and producer of the show, I am immensely proud to bring these songs and artists to the forefront. For some, this is the next step in their blossoming career; for others, the debut of their very first single.
