That the Parliament welcomes proposals to establish a Scottish Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame in Glasgow through the redevelopment of the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA); notes the strong support for the project from leading figures in Scotland's music industry, including Midge Ure, Dougie Payne, Lulu, Billy Sloan and Ronnie Gurr; recognises Scotland's outstanding contribution to music and its reputation for producing artists and performers whose influence far exceeds the country's size; further recognises Glasgow's international standing as a UNESCO City of Music and home to iconic live music venues such as King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, the Barrowland Ballroom and the Sub Club; believes that a national music hall of fame would be an important cultural asset for both Glasgow and Scotland, celebrating the nation's rich musical heritage, supporting cultural tourism and inspiring future generations of musicians, and calls on Creative Scotland and the Scottish Government to support Scotland's grassroots music venues, wider music industry and the establishment of a Scottish Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame in Glasgow.
