Coverage from the Provincial Mod on Mull
COMPETITORS from all over Scotland made their way to Tobermory for one of the finest provincial mod competitions in Gaelic song and music.
Inverness, conducted by Ardgour singer, songwriter and broadcaster Mary Ann Kennedy, was hugely successful - but the praise on the day was for everyone who helped to make the event happen.
Janet MacDonald, convenor of the Mull mod committee said: ‘I would like to thank all who contributed to the success of this year’s Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn.
‘ We have a small, hard-working committee, who pull out all the stops each year to make sure that our Mòd is one of the most successful local mods in the country.
‘In fact, I would go so far as to say the most successful Mòd in the country!
‘ I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the committee again this year, for the phenomenal amount of work they have done prior to and during the two- day mod.
‘Thank you to the many, many competitors who come from far and near to take part, just a few short weeks before the national mod.
‘Many thanks also to our adjudicators, who had to make very difficult decisions in many competitions where the standard of Gaelic and music was extremely high.
‘The Mull mod is a real community event, since it all happens on the Main Street in Tobermory, right in the middle of town, and I want particularly to thank all the members of the community who help in so many different ways during the two days of the Mòd.
‘Most local businesses are only too willing to take advertising space in our programme, sponsor a competition, or provide help in other ways.
‘ We are very fortunate that many people come forward to offer their services, but we would welcome anyone else who feels they could be of assistance in future.
‘Mòran taing dhuibh uile! Seònaid.’
