Columnist kmckenna63 writes about his experience of this year's SNP conference
conference in Aberdeen organised by STV Studios. It’s being chaired by the ever-loquacious Angus Robertson whose sprawling ministerial remit includes culture. It’s a pleasant, if self-congratulatory, event featuring two senior television executives telling a sizeable audience how “vibrant” Scotland’s film and television production industry is.
At least in its previous incarnation you knew what was happening inside: dancing, singing and acting. Perhaps “Music and Drama” seemed too accessible and didn’t convey a sufficient sense of “mystique” . “Conservatoire” conveys a heightened sense of “grandeur” , “n’est ce pas”? . Among the important bodies consulted on the name change was the Royal Protocol Unit.Just along from the STV fringe meeting was a stall commandeered by Quirky Chocolate.
The women are now in the early stages of having a play written about their exploits to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the World Cup in 2024. I tell her there’s a room full of television types just along the corridor who ought to be forming a queue for the filming rights. As the competition has become known all over the world, locals have resisted the overtures of food industry titans to be associated with their event. Instead, they have stuck with Hamlyns, the Scottish porridge-makers who were in at the beginning.
