back in September the events industry gathered at the Hilton, Glasgow to attend the 2009 Scottish Event Awards, organised by The Drum.
The event was attended by the elite of the Scottish events industry at a ceremony which is only in its second year and is designed to promote, reward and celebrate the growing and successful events industry in Scotland. The Event Awards brings together all areas from event managers, to organisers, to venues, to event suppliers and in house teams.
Scooping the top awards were Cycling Scotland who won the Event Management Grand Prix for Pedal for Scotland, Event Services Grand Prix went to the SECC and the Chairman’s Award was given to the Scottish Social Care Services Council for the Care Accolades.
The event was a night full of celebration and entertainment as guests were piped into dinner by ‘And then there were 4’, youngsters from the Haddington Pipe Band who performed various songs on the bagpipes and signaled the start of the action-packed evening.
During dinner Scott Cuthbertson performed table top magic and entertained guests with his ability to bend coins – our very own Uri Geller!
After dinner Ha Ha Comedy provided up and coming Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges, who recently appeared on Michael Macintyre’s Comedy Roadshow warmed up the audience with 20 minutes of side splitting comedy before the presentation of awards began.
To end the show, former Lord of the Dance performers ‘Rhythm of the Celts’ wowed the crowd with their magical and powerful Irish dance routine.
But that’s not all, those who were in the mood to party danced until 2am to the sounds of the band – Sneakers and there was even a Gay Gordon’s thrown in. For those who were mingling in the bar area they had the opportunity to have a drawing done by the Kilted Caricaturist.
After the event finished at 2am those who were hardcore continued the party at Alea Casino at the Quay into the small hours of Saturday morning.
