 Hollywood Rocks is up and running, with heats under way across the country. It's a musical talent contest, which encourages young people to get politically engaged. The Electoral Commission Scotland is on hand to get giggoers signed up to vote, as for the first time, 16 and 17 year olds can participate in elections here. Here at Glasgow's St Luke's, it's been singled by Sundays night. They are through to the finals at the end of October, and they're in existence barely two months. We're only a band that's nine weeks old, so this is all kind of new to us, but we bond really well together and we just want to have a lot of fun. So we're going to bring that on the 31st and just see what happens. We're very optimistic though, we're very optimistic. The event is being held in conjunction with the Scottish Political-Cultural Partnership. Eight regional heats are taking place through the month of October. The winners of each will then meet at the Scottish Parliament on Saturday the 31st October, for a grand battle of the bands to claim the prize of a professional recording session. Admission to all events is free, and you can just turn up at the door on the night. I think it's been really exciting to combine the music side, the political side, and also it's a fabulous venue, it's a new venue in the east end of Glasgow. So not really exciting, really impressed with the standard of the music for the young people. It's a great venue and it's great that the Scottish Parliament is involved in some of the young talent. The musicians here are absolutely fabulous, it's amazing. But there is a stronger message behind that, and it has been happening at home for this evening. And it is about engaging young people in the political scene. Gigs are taking place throughout October, so why not get along to one near you? Or go to the final on Saturday October 31st. There's no entry fee and access is on a first come basis. You can find out more on our webpage or using the Hollywood Rocks hashtag.
