Please note the following amendment to Competition A305.

Competition A305 - Sìoman Donn

Verse 2, Bar 30 - ‘ghàradh’ should be changed to ‘gharadh’ (without an accent on the ‘a’). The crotchet and quaver above the word ‘gharadh’ should now be reversed with the quaver over the first syllable of the word (ghar-adh) and the crotchet over the second syllable (ghar-adh). This applies to all three parts.

Keep an eye on our website for further updates.
