 The Scottish Parliament's iconic garden lobby brought to life on a Saturday night by young musicians from across the country. They were engaged in a grand battle of the bands, the final of Hollywood Rock's music talent contest. The event brought supporters and music lovers alike into Hollywood, but it was also about getting people signed up to vote as for the first time 16 and 17 year olds can participate in elections here. Well I want them to have a great time first and foremost to see that it's their parliament, they can come here and use it any time they want, but please register to vote. That's the serious message today. Held in conjunction with the Scottish Political Cultural Partnership, the event involved a range of activities including a talk on songwriting, open mic sessions and youth media involvement. Finalists from each of the eight parliamentary regions took turns on two stages, and in the end it was Gus Harrowa, a 17 year old from Edinburgh who won the days. Gus took away with him a prize of a recording session at Clyde One Studios in Glasgow, along with tickets to attend the Young Scott Awards. It's easy to register to vote, you can do it online and it only takes five minutes. And you can keep up to date with what's happening at the Scottish Parliament through our social media channels.
