Mod 2012

That's Mod as in the (Scots) Gaelic Eisteddfod rather than anything related to Paul Weller.

Live on BBC Alba now (and no doubt on the iPlayer too). Worth checking out as, rather like the beautiful things S4C shows that I don't understand either, there's a lot of splendid singing going on.

The perfect antidote to Britain's Got X Factor.

Agreed gj - good to dip in for a while, even though I have no clue what's going on most of the time - that's when you need R3's Mary Ann Kennedy around to offer a spot of explanation. Though on the subject of BBC Alba, one of my favourite things on TV this year was when they ran a few weeks of Dr Finlay's Casebook - took me back it did.
