The Nordoff Robbins charity uses music to help those affected by life-limiting physical and mental illness, disabilities or feelings of isolation.

Chief executive Sandra Schembri said it was a "fantastic" night.

"We are humbled by the Scottish music industry's ongoing support of Nordoff Robins and grateful to all the winners and performers that joined us at the Barrowlands the year.

"The funds raised through the SMAs will go directly towards our mission to continue sharing the power of music as far and wide as possible, helping people to connect and communicate through music therapy."
