BBC Music Introducing

Presented by Phoebe I-H and Shereen Cutkelvin, this special programme gives you a closer look at all the acts shortlisted for the BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year 2023 public vote. After a long and careful deliberation of hundreds of applicants, the BBC Introducing judges have selected the eight acts they think are worthy of the public vote. Only four spaces remain at the final, so now it's over to you to watch and vote between Friday 17 March and 11pm Tuesday 21 March 2023. The shortlist includes Edinburgh cross-genre harpist Queen of Harps, indie pop four piece The Big Day, Glasgow post-punk outfit VLURE, Aberdeen's Chef the Rapper, electronic production duo Love Sick, Glasgow alt-soul singer Russell Stewart, R&B and gospel vocalist and songwriter AiiTee, and folk and jazz soloist Terra Kin. Also featured is a look back at last year's event, as 2022 winner Bemz shares his exceptional story and the extraordinary year which saw him triumph at TRNSMT, as well as a look at the judges' deliberation room.

Shereen Cutkelvin and Phoebe IH crown the 2023 Scottish Act of the Year. From over 500 entries, the four shortlisted acts perform in front of a live audience and top music industry judges. Plus live music from last year's winner, Bemz.
