REISANFHEIS-1

Fèis Tìr a’ Mhurain hit the ground running this weekend, with a heart stopping photo finish for the annual ‘Rèis nam Fèis’ fun run.

Each year the week-long festival of music, drama and dance kicks off with the fun run setting off from Stoneybridge Hall in South Uist. More than fifty people took part in ‘Rèis nan Fèis’ on Sunday 10th July 2016.

In a finish that was too close to call, Kevin Beaton from Balivanich and Joseph MacInnes from Stoneybridge came in first equal at 24.32.

Look out for more results in the next edition of Am Pàipear.

Fèis Tìr a’ Mhurain is now underway at Sgoil an Iochdair, with more than 120 young people taking part.

Tutors working at the fèis this week will perform at a ceilidh in Stoneybridge Hall at 7.30pm tomorrow evening (Wednesday 13th July).

Then, a live music session will take place at the Dark Island Hotel on Thursday 14th July at 8pm, followed by the climactic Ceilidh na Cloinne at 2pm on Friday 15th July in Sgoil an Iochdair.

Two performers from the Iochdar School play at Mòd Uibhist 2014.

Preparations are getting well underway for Mòd Uibhist 2015, which is scheduled to take place in May.

Mòd Uibhist committee writes:

“The committee is gearing up once again for the local Mòd which will be held in Sgoil an Ìochdair on Friday 29th May and Saturday 30th May.

“We look forward to a successful event following on from the last mods.

Balivanich School took the highest tally of points at last year’s mòd.

“A fundraising ceilidh is planned for Friday 13th March in St Mary’s Hall, Griminish. Donations of homebaking and raffle prizes would be gratefully accepted.

“We would also appreciate it if trophy winners from last year’s Mòd could return the trophies to the reception at Sgoil Lìonacleit by Friday 1st May. If there is any difficulty in doing this could you please contact a committee member or e-mail moduibhist@gmail.com.“
