Dundee Gaelic Choir

The Dundee Gaelic Choir promotes the Gaelic language and culture through music and song. We compete in provincial mods throughout the year and at the Royal National Mod each October. We also perform at the annual Fest'n'Furious in Dundee and entertain at Highland Societies and ceilidhs throughout the Tayside area.


The choir is trained and conducted by Wilma Kennedy, Mod Gold Medallist, and draws members from Angus, Fife, and Perthshire.

History

Dundee Gaelic Choir, officially known as the Dundee Gaelic Musical Association, was formed at the end of the 19th Century and enjoyed early success in 1903 as the first ever winners of the prestigious Lovat and Tullibardine Trophy which they went on to win on several other occasions. The Association went into abeyance in 1939 and was reconstituted in 1966. In 2006 we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the reconstitution with a dinner attended by many former members including the original conductor from 1966.

Meetings

The choir meets for practice every Monday night at 7.15pm in the Gilfillan Memorial Church hall in Whitehall Crescent, Dundee.

New members are always welcome – prior knowledge of Gaelic is not required!
