Henderson Services to Traditional Music Award
This award was introduced in 2003 to celebrate those special
people whom Scottish traditional music couldn't do without.
It was posthumously awarded to Hamish Henderson and thereafter
known as "The Hamish Henderson Services to Traditional

we decided to bring the two awards together and insert recipients
of both into the Hall of Fame.
