   About Nòs Ùr

Nòs Ùr (meaning ‘new style’ in Scottish Gaelic) is a new song competition in the Celtic and Scots languages which will act as a regional final for the pan-European minority languages song competition – Liet Lavlut, held on 18 October 2008 in Lulea, Sweden. 

Languages accepted: Scots, Ulster Scots, Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, Manx Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Breton. 

On 21 June 2008 two acts were chosen (one jury vote, one public vote) to represent the Celtic and Scots languages/regions at the Liet Lavlut competition in Lulea, northern Sweden. 

AND THE WINNERS ARE!....

JURY PRIZE: Yr Annioddefol (Welsh) - Drysu (Confusion)

PUBLIC PRIZE: Gwennyn (Breton) - Bugale Belfast (Children of Belfast)

Mealaibh ur naidheachd! Congratulations to the winners and sincere thanks to all who have taken part and made this such a memorable event. 

Photos of Nòs Ùr 2008 will be posted up on this site soon. 

Nòs Ùr 2009 will take place in Inverness in June 2009.  More details to follow. 


Aims and Objectives :

Foster new writing in indigenous languages

Develop links and dialogue between artists and related creative industries within Western Europe

Encourage and increase cultural tourism where the event takes place

Promote and encourage the use of indigenous minority languages

Strengthen the image and self worth of minority language speakers

Provide economic opportunities and development for artistes and creative industries.

Promote the region to a wide audience through media and public/private sector interest.

Develop co-operation and interaction between academic institutions and minority linguistic communities.

Increase knowledge and skills in local and international event management in the private and public sector.



“Initiatives such as the Nòs Ùr regional contest and the Liet Lavlut, where Europe's regional and minority languages are in the limelight, provide an ideal opportunity to give these languages a new lease of life and a positive image which is often sorely lacking, particularly among young people. 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
