Presenter Fiona’s Starring Role in LA

Station presenter Fiona McNeill was centre stage at a glittering awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

Fiona was the voiceover / narrator for the BAFTA Student Award for Immersive winner at the international Yugo student awards.

The winning submission was a virtual reality project called “Aonar” and because its creator, Austin Wolfe from Glasgow School of Art was unable to attend, she collected the award on his behalf and gave a short ‘thank you’ speech.

“It was an amazing experience,” said Fiona. “Meeting all the other finalists was great and being at the awards’ ceremony in LA is something I won’t forget.

“It’s not an opportunity that comes your way that often.

“I am so pleased for Austin and the School of Art team and I am so thankful they wanted me to be involved.”

• Award-winner, Fiona hosts Celtic and Folk Fusions every Tuesday on Celtic Music Radio at 6 pm
