I'm sure most of the nominees could claim similar tenuous links to Argyll. You missed some with real connections: Live act of the year - Lau's fiddle player, Aiden O'Rourke, is from Seil Island. Scottish folk band of the year - Bodega's guitar player, Tia Files, is from Oban and Mary Ann Kennedy has a strong family connection to Tiree. I'm sure there are more in there that I have missed or don't even know about. Good luck to them all!
