This year of course the
mod extends over 9 days as
compared with 6 days in pre¬
vious years. The first 2 days
are devoted to children’s com
petitions and concerts start¬
ing at 2 p.m. on Thursday,
16th and finishing on Friday
evening.
Saturday 18th promises to
be different by traditional
Mod standards. A competi¬
tion for Fiddle Groups has
been introduced and will take
place in the Speyside Theatre
on the Saturday morning.
Most of the entries perhaps,
predictably, come from the
East. This competition looks
likely to make the Mod more
of a national event.
The Junior Piping Competi¬
tions will also take place on
Saturday morning but the
highlight of the day promises
to be the Open Piping Com¬
petition for the Gold Banner
(A’ Bhratach Oir) presented
by John Player & Sons. Some
of the best pipers in Scotland
have entered for this event
which carries a £25 first prize
for playing a March, Strath¬
spey and Reel.
Pibroch recital
The recital of three Ceol
Mor (Pibrochs) given by John
MacFadyen, William M. Mac¬
donald and Ron McCallum
in the evening should make
this quite an outstanding day
for piping enthusiasts.
