Thairis air an dà latha bha còmhlain a leithid Skerryvore, Peatbog Fairies, Breabach, Dàimh, Valtos, Face the West, Hò-Rò agus mòran eile rin cluinntinn air an àrd-ùrlar, le suas gu mu 8000 anns an luchd-èisteachd. ‘B e deireadh sheachdain air leth a bh’ ann agus thathas a’ coimhead air adhart mu thràth ri Fèis 2024!

Congratulations to ‘The Reeling’ Festival
An Comunn Gàidhealach would like to congratulate the organisers of ‘The Reeling’ Festival on the success of their inaugural event, which took place earlier this month in Glasgow.
Bands such as Skerryvore, the Peatbog Fairies, Breabach, Dàimh, Valtos, Face the West, Hò-Rò and many others took to the stage over the two days, to the delight of almost 8000 revellers. It was a fantastic weekend and festival-goers are already looking forward to the 2024 festival!

Mod Ionadail Loch Abar
Chaidh Mòd Ionadail Loch Abar a chumail air Dihaoine an 9mh agus Disathairne an 10mh den t-Ògmhios ann am Bun Sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar (BSGLA), An Gearastan. Bha e na thlachd dhuinn faicinn àireamhan nas fallain airson farpaisean a’ Mhòid, as dèidh tachartas an-uiridh nuair nach robh na h-uidhir a’ gabhail pàirt mar thoireadh air buaidhean Covid. Ghabh còrr is 300 sgoilear pàirt ann an 76 tachartas thairis air an dà latha.
Chaidh farpaisean aon neach agus buidhnean a chumail air an Dihaoine, le clann bho air feadh sgìre Loch Abar a’ gabhail pàirt. Bha e na thlachd dhuinn fàilte a chur air clann bhon Òban agus àiteachan eile don Mhòd againn. Taing cuideachd dha na farpaisaich bho sgìre Mhalaig, a thug mu 100 sgoilear bho sgoiltean na sgìre gus pàirt a ghabhail anns a’ Mhòd. Leis gu bheil na h-àireamhan ann an BSGLA a’ leudachadh, ghabh tòrr bhon sgoil pàirt cuideachd, le da chòisir nam measg.
Bha e misneachail faicinn barrachd luchd-ionnsachaidh gabhail pàirt am bliadhna, ann am farpaisean aon neach agus buidhnean. Ghabh 9 buidhnean pàirt anns an fharpais airson Òran Gnìomh, le buidhnean luchd-ionnsachaidh a’ dèanamh math dha rìreabh anns an fharpais seo.
Bha farpaisean aon-neach trang, mar is àbhaist, agus meal an naidheachd air gach sgoilear a ghabh pàirt.
‘B e farpaisean ionnsramaid a chaidh a chumail Disathairne, le farpaisean airson fidheall, bogsa, clàrsach agus pìobaireachd. A-rithist, bha àireamhan math anns gach farpaisean bho sgoilearan à Loch Abar, an Òban, Inbhir Nis agus cuideachd, Fìobha.
Gu mì-fhortannach, cha robh farpaisich againn airson farpaisean nan inbheach, ach, thathas an dòchas, leis gun deach Loch Abar ainmeachadh airson Mòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail 2025, gun toir seo piseach air na h-àireamhan airson Mòd Ionadail na h-ath bhliadhna.

Lochaber Provincial Mod
Mod Ionadail Loch Abar was held over Friday the 9th and Saturday 10th June 2023 in Bun Sgoil Ghaidhlig Loch Abar (BSGLA), Fort William. It was encouraging to see a significant rise in entry numbers this year after last years emergence from Covid with over 300 children participating across 76 separate events over the 2 days.
Friday saw all the solo and group events taking place attracting entries from across Lochaber, it was encouraging to see children from Oban and further afield also taking the time to participate and thanks also to our regular supporters from the Mallaig area who took around 100 kids from the various primary schools. As the numbers continue to increase at BSGLA we also had a significant entry from them, indeed they were able to enter 2 very strong choirs into the competitions.
It was encouraging to see an increase in learner entries this year in both solo and group categories, in the action song we had 9 entries with learner groups placing well in this category.
The solo competitions as usual were hotly contested and congratulations go to all who participated.
Saturday was the turn of the instrumental competitions with competitions in Fiddle, Accordion, Clarsach and Piping, again good entry numbers were received with competitors from Lochaber, Oban, Inverness and even Fife.
On a slightly disappointing note, was the absence of any entries for our adult competitions however with Lochaber being announced as host area for the 2025 Royal National Mod we hope that this will stimulate some entries for next year.

Mozart: Concerto airson Clàirneid, A major, K. 622
Thèid corra rud a chall gu sìorraidh bràth.
Rudan eile, cha tèid. ’S e am pìos
mu dhèireadh a chriòchnaich Mozart
Concerto ann an A major
airson clàirneid bassinet – ionnsramaid
a rinn a charaid aig’ Anton Sadler.
Chall esan an sgòr cha mhòr sa bhad,
agus an ceann deichead chaidh a’ chlàirneid
aig’ fhèin às an fhasain ’s à eòlas.
Call air chall. Mozart ann an uaigh
gun ainm ann am Bhienna.
Am pìos ciùil aige na mhac-talla
air ionnsramaid cheàrr ann an dùthaich chèin.
(Ach beò dammit, beò, air chrith.)
Mozart: Clarinet Concerto, A major, K. 622
Some things are lost for ever. Some not.
The last piece Mozart wrote
was a concerto in A major
for basset clarinet, an instrument
invented by his friend Anton Sadler.
Who immediately lost the score
and whose instrument went quickly
out of fashion, and then out of lore.
Loss on loss. Mozart in a common,
nameless, grave in Vienna.
His concerto reconfigured,
echoing on the wrong instrument.
(Yes, but still echoing, dammit,
still alive, vibrating.)
