Vic Galloway (BBC Radio 1 In Scotland): "Already this year it's been an exciting time for new bands in Scotland with the recent Radio 1 Big Weekend and T in the Park's T Break search - this festival gives another opportunity for the whole of Scotland to showcase new bands - we hope there will be a strong representation from the Highlands and this expands what I try to do each week on my Radio Scotland show.  Along with the rest of the Radio Scotland team I am looking forward to a great weekend in one of Scotland's most beautiful areas listening to great bands!"

Tom Morton (BBC Radio Scotland): "Belladrum was a delight last year and the Seedlings project is a golden opportunity for bands to make their debut on the festival scene. It's probably the friendliest festival in Britain but it's also a real showcase  - movers and shakers aplenty will be in attendance. And Belladrum has the best food of any festival I've ever been to. More toilets too."
