It was another successful year for Joy and her choirs at the Royal National Mòd in Oban recently with top 3 placings awarded across the board.
Còisir Ghàidhlig Thaigh an Uillt / Taynuilt Gaelic Choir won 2nd place in the Sheriff MacMaster competition and were awarded the prize for the highest marks in music, in addition to being placed 3rd in the rural choirs' Puirt a Beul competition. Their ladies' section also came 3rd in the rural ladies' choir competition.
Both Atomic Piseag and Ceann an Tuirc, the Argyll ladies' and male voice choirs that Joy sings with and conducts, came 2nd in their respective sections against stiff competition from other area choirs.
Joy herself was runner up in the prestigious Gold Medal Series competitions after winning the Gold Medal Final competition and being runner up in the Òran Mòr competition. Mealaibh ur naidheachd to Sineag MacIntyre and Steven MacIver - this year's very worth winners! She was also placed 3rd in the solo Puirt a Beul competition and managed to run a very successful children's cèilidh on the Monday night - many thanks to all involved.
Huge congratulations to all the winners and competitors at this year's Mòd - hope you all enjoyed yourself in Oban and have returned home with a multitude of wonderful memories. Anyone in need of a post Mòd pick-me-up can check out the
official photographs and remember- only 51 weeks until Caithness!
