It's Mòd Week/'S e Seachdain a' Mhòid a th' ann

Members of staff and students will be attending and competing in this year’s Royal National Mòd in Paisley. The Mòd is an annual festival celebrating the Gaelic language and culture with over 200 competitions in Gaelic song, poetry, literature, drama, music and dance. Last year the Mòd was held in Perth and welcomed around 2100 participants including 34 choirs and 900 soloists. Since its inception in 1891 Aberdeen has hosted the Mòd four times (1946, 1955, 1964 and 1976). Paisley is hosting the event this year and the highlights as well as the main competitions will be shown on BBC Alba. The Gold Medal competition will be shown from 7.30pm on Wednesday night and the Lovat and Tullibardine Choir competition will be shown in full on Friday from 1.30pm. Aberdeen Gaelic choir will be competing in three competitions, the Puirt a Beul (mouth music) competition, the Ladies choir and in the Lovat and Tullibardine main choir competition. See if you can spot staff members or students of the University.
