SKYE & LOCHALSH DISTRICT COUNCIL Skye & Lochalsh District Council extends a warm welcome to Mod Eilean a’cheo and wishes it every success.

8 President’s remarks Welcome to Mod Eilean A’ Cheo — the first National Mod ever held in the Isle of Skye. According to the latest census figures 53.6% of the population of Skye and Lochalsh are Gaelic speakers and we suspect that the percentage is considerably higher for Skye on its own. So we look forward to a Mod where the Gaelic language is predominant. We look forward to hearing Gaelic spoken freely and extensively in the highways and byways, in the halls and in the places of residence. Though the latest figures for the number of Gaelic speakers are dispaoointing there are certain rays of hope. The number of speakers in the Gaelic heartland has been maintained and a comparison between the 1961 and 1981 figures for the whole of Scotland shows that there has been little significant change. This suggests that the fairly rapid dechne in the number of speakers upwardup to 1961 trend has canbeen be halted. instigated. There Ishas this been possible? a period Certain of stability signs and give the grounds hope now for is guarded that an optimism. In the first place the survey commissioned by AN Comunn and carried out by Dr. Kenneth MacKinnon of Hatfield Polytechnic is encouraging. It shows that there is a large measure of support for the language not only in the Highlands but throughout Scotland. Though naturally recognitionthe support foris strongest Gaelic and in increased the Highlands. support Substantial for the language percentages especially of the in thepeople fields favour of education official and broadcasting. There is evident support for the objection which An COmunn is pursuing. In the second place the bilingual primary education project initiated by Comhairle nan Eilean with initial aid from the Scottish Education Department is producing positive results. Though the project has not yet been extended to the Secondary School this must surely come.

The European Parliament has detected this and has passed a Bill of Rights for Minority Languages.

Tha cuid de sgoiltean far an do dh’ionnsaich clann drain mhatha, ach feumar an aire thoirt nach ann o obair sgriobhte a thainig na fuinn. Chan leig am fonn a sheinneas tu a leas bhith pong air phong mar a tha e ma tha e ann an cld. Mar as trice, tha na fuinn a tha air drain Ghaidhlig annasach agus duilich an togail do neach nacheil edlach air an dualchas. Tha e nas fhearr ma thogas tu na faclan cuideachd o bheul-aithris, ach chaneil sin cho cudromach, oir’s e fior bheagan de dh’drain Ghaidhlig nacheil na faclan aca sgriobhte am bad-eigin. Feumaidh an t-dran a bhith buntainn do’n dualchas Gaidhlig a thaobh meadrachd is fonn, ach cha ruig e lead a bhith scan. Faodaidh an t-dran a bhith aotram, eibhinn, neo trom, tursach, ach feumaidh durachd a bhith air a chill. Mar eisimpleir, ’s iongantach gu robh cailin neo Mdrag shdnraichte sam bith air aire nam bard a rinn Cailin mo ruin-sa, neo Mdrag a Dun-Bheagain. Chaneil doimhneachd neo durachd anns an smuain a tha annta. Tha mdran dran mar seo ann, agus tha e na’s fhearr an seachnadh airson na co-fharpais seo. Tha drain ann air a bheil droch bhardachd, agus fonn gun seadh, agus faodaidh na britheamhnan cur sios air an leithidean sin. An seann nos Tha am fonn a’ cdmhdach nam faclan agus a’ cur bdidhchead ris a’ bhardachd. Ma tha na faclan air an libhrigeadh ann an doigh chothromach, thig an cedi ceart leis fhein, agus tha seo gu h-araidh Fior a thaobh riotham. Cha ruig thu leas slioraichean a chur ’nad ghuth ach ma tha iad agad gu nadarra, na bath iad air chor sam bith. Na dean dran mdr de dh’dran beag. Na dean cus spairn gus ’ciall’ an drain a shealltainn. Innis naidheachd an drain, chan ann mar gum biodh tu air ard-iirlar ach mar biodh tu ann an taigh-ceilidh. Seinn gu durachdach, leig do ghuth a mach, ’s ni an t-dran fhein an cdrr. TRADITIONAL SINGING The songs The best kind of songs is the kind you absorbed within your own family or in your own neighbourhood, but if that is not possible, get songs from someone who knows the tradition, or from a tape by such a person. Children have been known to learn some good songs in school, but care must be taken, if you decide to use such a song, that the teacher did not get the tune from a written source. The tune must not have been published in the exact version that you choose to sing, but variants of a published tune are perfectly acceptable. The tunes of Gaelic songs are very often unusual and difficult for a novice in the tradition to learn. It is better if the words are unpublished, but that is not so important because there are very few Gaelic songs whose words are not published somewhere. Songs chosen for this competition need not be old, but their poetic metre and tune must be within the Gaelic tradition. The song maybe light and humorous or heavily tragic, but it should not be contrived. Songs like Cailin mo ruin-sa and Morag a Dun- Bheagain, for example, as well as many other fairly light-hearted songs depicting love of person or of home, have little sincere feeling in them, and should be avoided for this competition. Such songs usually have trite melodies as well, and could be categorised as Gaelic “pop”. Singing in the traditional manner The tune complements the words and adds beauty to them. If the words are given proper consideration, the music will be right, and this is especially so with regard to rhythm. Give due consideration, therefore,to lengths of syllables. Do not produce grace-notes if they are not within the tradition of the place you come from, or of your family, but if they are natural to you, do not, on any account, repress them. Do not try to make a small intimate song into a big song. Do not try to produce a melodramatic interpretation of the song. Sing with sincerity, let your voice out, don’t neglect your consonants, and the song itself will do the rest. Let the song tell its own story.

2. Yellow Card — This is for first time testing and can only be held for six years. Learners who have competed in previous Mods will have this taken into account, e.g. if a competitor has entered the last two Mods this will be their third year, therefore their yellow card is only valid for four years.

Competitions — Silver Pendant Series, Orals (learners). White Card — for Choir members only, testing as before. A. Red Card — Children who hold a green card need no testing. Non holders will get a red card which they will retain until the age of 16. Thereafter they must test for their adult Green Card. No Testing for Junior learners.
