..............Get this collage.......... ..Nòs Ùr (meaning ‘new style' in Scottish Gaelic) is a song competition in the Celtic and Scots languages which is a regional final for the pan-European minority languages song competition – Liet International, to be held in October 2009 in Leeuwarden, Friesland, Netherlands. Languages accepted in Nòs Ùr are: Scots & Ulster Scots, Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, Manx Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Breton. .... On 20 June 2009 two acts will be chosen (one jury vote, one public vote) in Inverness to represent the Celtic and Scots languages/regions at the ..Liet International ..competition in Friesland. ....UHI Millenium Institute will hold an academic conference on minoriity languages at Eden Court on 20 June 2009 to tie in with the Nos Ur event. There will also be a youth concert called Nòs Òg on Friday night, 19 June 2009, at Eden Court which will showcase some of the best up and coming teenage bands singing in the various Celtic and Scots languages. There will be workshops on the music industry for bands on the Saturday morning, 20 June, at Eden Court.

What better way to unite people, than with the universal language of music? These events substantially contribute to the richness of Europe, its culture and its diversity.”....Sonia Parayre.., Council of Europe Official, co-Secretary of the Committee of Experts to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages...... .. .. ....Contact ..: .. ..Brian Ó hEadhra, Anam Communications, 3 Pine Drive, Inverness , IV2 4NT , Scotland .. ..Tel: 01463 241622, E-mail: ..info@nos-ur.eu.... .. .. ......www.nos-ur.eu ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..'S e farpais òran a th' ann an Nòs Ùr.
