All eyes are turning to Glasgow as the Mobo Awards the global musical spotlight comes to Scotland for the first time.
As final preparations are made for tonight’s Music of Black Origin spectacular at the SECC, organisers have revealed the local performers who will be part of the dazzling show.
Dancers from Glasgow agency Erin Gavin Models will perform with former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland and DJ David Guetta.
Erin said: “The Mobos is one of the biggest events in the world so to perform at it is a dream come true.”
The routine has been choreographed by dancer Tony Miller, 30, who was approached by Virgin Records to take part in the show.
The Glasgow Gospel Choir will also appear with stars including Tinchy Stryder, N-Dubz and Chipmunk on a song for Warchild charity which will be part of the show’s finale.
Bob Gould, manager of the 28-member choir, said: “When I heard the show was coming to Glasgow I contacted the organisers. A few months later I got a call from a London record company asking if we would perform.”
“Hopefully it will be good for us in the future.”
Organisers have also revealed they have lined up some young Glasgow gymnasts to flip across the stage with the gold envelopes containing the winners’ names.
More than 50 young athletes turned up to audition for the job and it is being kept under wraps just who has been chosen.
Although there is only one Scottish awards nominee, Glasgow medical student Emilie Sande who co-wrote Best Song and Best Video-nominated Diamond Rings with rapper Chipmunk, the Mobo team is trying to encourage Scottish urban talent of the future.
Tonight’s awards ceremony, which aims to celebrate music of black origin by artists of any race, will go out live from the SECC on BBC Three.
Music stars Jermaine and La Toya Jackson, JLS, N-Dubz and Tinchy Stryder will be among those walking down the red carpet tonight.
Scott Taylor, head of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: “I’ve just seen the soundchecks and they look pretty good. The visuals which will be beamed to TV will be amazing.”
Paul Bush, of EventScotland, added: “It’s going to be a real ‘wow’ atmosphere. It will be a fantastic night for Glasgow and Scotland. Everybody’s talking about the Mobos - it’s the hottest ticket in town.
