Music will be from the Willie McFarlane duo and prices are £6 for adults and £2 for children. There will be soloists, a buffet, a bar and of course a raffle!!

It would be great to have your support and any donations for the raffle or the buffet would be gratefully received. We are a small committee working hard to keep the Mod a success and we really hope to see as many people as possible on the night.

Changes to A305

Published: 06 Mar 2012

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.
