Musician Midge Ure has been presented with a lifetime achievement award at the Tartan Clef Awards.

The Band Aid co-founder and former Ultravox singer received the accolade at a ceremony in Glasgow.

The main award went to Hue and Cry, while newcomer Lucie Silvas was named as best breakthrough artist.

Alabama 3 won the best songwriters prize, while there were also honours for The Corries’ Ronnie Browne and percussionist Evelyn Glennie.

The awards are organised by the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity, which helps people with disabilities.

Raising money

The ceremony is in its seventh year, with the prizes being presented this year by Lulu.

Previous winners have included The Darkness, Edwyn Collins and violinist Nicola Benedetti

Chairman Donald Macleod said: “The Tartan Clef Awards go from strength to strength each year, raising an astonishing amount of money for the charity.

“The generosity of people on the night is a true testament that music really does have a place in everyone’s heart, and that awareness of the charity and the power of music therapy continues to grow.”
