New song competition for Scots and Celtic languages
A prestigious competition has been launched this week to celebrate songs from minority Celtic & Scots language communities. Singers and song-writers are invited to send their entries to Nòs Ùr - the first song contest to be held in Inverness as part of four regional finals held across Europe.
Meaning ‘New Style’ in Gaelic, the Nòs Ùr competition expects songs to be entered from languages such as Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Ulster Scots, Irish, Manx, Welsh, Cornish and Breton. The winner of the Celtic/Scots competition will be entered into the final of the pan-European Liet Lavlut competition which takes place in Lulea, Sweden this October.
The contest is the only song competition of its kind in Europe and follows a similar format as the Eurovision Song Contest with singers and bands representing a particular country, or in this case a minority language.
