Tha sinn a’ caoidh call uabhasach ann an saoghal nan còisirean Ghàidhlig an t-seachdain-sa às dèidh bàs Raibeart MhicChaluim. Bha Raibeart na strìuiriche glè shoirbheachail le Còisir Innse Gall Ghlaschu fad iomadh bliadhna agus nochd e fhèin gu pearsanta aig 79 Mòdan ann an streath.
The Gaelic choral world suffered an immeasurable loss at the beginning of this week with the passing of Raibeart MacCallum. Raibeart enjoyed several years of success with the Glasgow Hebridean Choir and, on a personal level, attended an incredible 79 consecutive Royal National Mòds.
He was famed latterly for leading the massed choirs through his father, M G MacCallum’s beautiful arrangement of Sìne Bhàn every Saturday morning of the Mòd. “Let the song sing itself” was always the instruction and that’s what we aimed to do at our practice on Tuesday as a tribute.
Bidh ionndrainn mòr air aig Mòdan, agus san fhairseangeachd.
Soraidh slàn is oidhche mhath dhut, Raibeart chòir. Cuiridh sinn uile clach air a’ chàrn.
