Millie Bonniwell, a sevenyear- old pupil of Rockfield Primary School and Oban Mòd Academy from North Connel, won age seven to eight fluent solo singing and fluent prescribed poetry.
Dozens of young traditional musicians recently travelled to Ardnamurchan High School to showcase their talent at the annual Mòd Aird nam Murchan. The five peninsula primary schools, the high school and pupils from Mull, Oban and Fort William took part in choral, solo singing, instrumental, poetry recitation and conversation competitions on Friday June 15. The committee was also delighted to have several adult competitors this year as well as Burach, Morvern’s adult Gaelic choir.
Despite inclement weather everyone had a great day and adjudicators commented on the high standard of entries. Everyone agreed Ardnamurchan High School was a wonderful setting for the mòd. In the evening, a packed audience enjoyed the prizewinners’ concert.
