Clàradh ann an stiùidio do sgoilear a bhuannaich duais aig Mòd Inbhir Pheofharain

Bhuannaich Fionnlagh MacMhaoilein bho Acadamaidh Rìoghail Inbhir Nis duais Seinn Aon Neach do na Sgoilearan as Sine aig Mòd Ionadail Inbhir Pheofharain a chaidh a chumail na bu tràithe air a’ mhìos seo.

Chuir Cathraiche Comataidh Gàidhlig Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd, an Comhairliche Calum Rothach, meal a naidheachd air Fionnlagh, agus e ag ràdh:

“Is math a rinn Fionnlagh. Tha mi fìor thoilichte gun do choisinn e an duais airson Seinn Aon Neach do na Sgoilearan as Sine a bha air a sponsaireachd le Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd.

“Tha mi an dòchas gun còrd an duais aige ri Fionnlagh agus cothrom aige seisean clàraidh a dhèanamh aig Stiùidio Rosecroft fo sponsaireachd Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd. Tha sinn an dòchas gum brosnaich seo e gus an ùidh is na sgilean aige ann an òrain is ceòl Gàidhlig a leasachadh nas fhaide.”

Bha Fionnlagh am measg grunn sgoilear a ghabh pàirt ann am Mòd Ionadail Inbhir Pheofharain bho sgoiltean à Inbhir Pheofharain, Baile Dhubhthaich, Ullapul, Geàrrloch agus Inbhir Nis, agus nas fhaide air falbh, gus farpais còmhla tro cheòl is òrain Ghàidhlig.

Tha Sgioba Gàidhlig Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd air a bhith ag obair gu dlùth leis a’ Chomunn Ghàidhealach agus Meur Inbhir Pheofharain (meur ionadail Inbhir Pheofharain dhen Chomunn Ghàidhealach) airson taic a chur ri Mòd Ionadail Inbhir Pheofharain a tha cho cudromach a thaobh cultar na h-Alba agus dualchas na Gàidhlig. Bidh mòdan ionadail a’ toirt àrd-ùrlar do dh’fharpaisich de gach aois na tàlantan aca a thaisbeanadh ann an diofar raointean a leithid òrain, bàrdachd, dannsa, agus ceòl. Bidh na mòdan ionadail gu tric nan staran airson a dhol air adhart chun a’ Mhòid Nàiseanta Rìoghail a bhios ga chumail san Dàmhair gach bliadhna.

Tha sponsaireachd na Comhairle a’ sealltainn dealas na Comhairle do bhith ag obrachadh còmhla ri buidhnean Gàidhlig gus dualchas is cultar beairteach na h-Alba a bhrosnachadh ann an dòigh a tha an dà chuid spòrsail agus ruigsinneach dhan a h-uile duine.

Studio recording for Dingwall Mòd pupil prize winner

Finlay MacMillan of Inverness Royal Academy is the winner of the Senior Pupil Solo Singing competition at Dingwall Provincial Mòd held earlier this month.

Chair of Highland Council’s Gaelic Committee, Cllr Calum Munro congratulated Finlay on his recent achievement, he said:

“Well done to Finlay. I am delighted that he has received the prize for the Senior Pupils Solo Singing competition which was sponsored by The Highland Council. 

“I hope that Finlay enjoys his prize recording session at Rosecroft Studio courtesy of Highland Council and that it inspires him to develop his interest and skills in Gaelic song and music further.”

Finlay was one of many pupils who took part in Dingwall Provincial Mòd from schools such as Dingwall, Tain, Ullapool, Gairloch and Inverness, and further afield, to compete together through Gaelic music and song.

The Highland Council’s Gaelic Team have worked closely with An Comunn Gàidhealach and Meur Inbhir Pheofharain (Dingwall Local Branch of An Comunn Gàidhealach) to support the Dingwall Provincial Mòd which plays a part in the vital role in Scottish culture as a vibrant hub where Gaelic heritage thrives. Local Mòds provide a platform for both junior and senior competitors to showcase their talents in various disciplines such as song, poetry, dance, and music, often serving as a stepping stone for the Royal National Mòd which takes place in October each year.

The Council’s sponsorship of the Senior Pupils Solo Singing competition demonstrates the Council’s commitment to work with Gaelic organisations in promoting Scotland’s rich heritage and culture in ways which are both fun and accessible for all.
