Choir Members - Còisir Ghàidhlig An Eilein Duibh
Black Isle Gaelic Choir
The Black Isle Gaelic Choir was founded just after the second lockdown in April 2021 by a group of singers who really missed the connection and camaraderie of a choir throughout the pandemic, and who wanted to perform and promote the Gaelic language and culture through music but in a relaxed, fun and light hearted way. Initially, the choir rehearsed via Zoom for a couple of months until Covid guidelines allowed them to meet up safely outdoors. Their first live rehearsal was a socially distanced affair in their conductor’s garden on Tuesday, 1st June 2021. The highlight of the choir’s calendar is performing at the Royal National Mòd in October each year. They were fortunate to lift the coveted Margrat Duncan Memorial Trophy in Perth in 2022 on their first attempt at competition and were also awarded the John McNicol Memorial Trophy for the highest marks in Gaelic in the same competition.
