July 12, 2008. North Carolina Gaelic Mòd at Grandfather Mountain

The North Carolina Gaelic Mòd will be held on Saturday July 12, 2008 in Linville, North Carolina in association with the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. The Mòd will start at 3:00pm on Stage Number Three behind Donald’s Ceilidh Tent. What is a mòd? A mòd is a Gaelic song competition for anyone who feels like they want to try their hand (or voice!) at singing a Scottish Gaelic song. We try to keep the competition low key and make it fun for everyone – competitors as well as spectators.

The rules are simple:
1. Sing one Scottish Gaelic song, preferably a slow one like a waulking song, rowing song, lullaby, òran mòr, or lament.
2. The competitors must supply the judge with two copies of the Gaelic words to their songs. They should also supply an English translation.
3. It is preferred that songs be learned by heart prior to the competition without the need to resort to written text.
4. Please keep the songs to a reasonable length.

For more information, you can e-mail Dr. Jamie MacDonald at jrmacdon@stfx.ca or call 902-867-5426. You can also contact Libit Woodington at 803-261-8741.
