About Nos Ur
The second Celtic and Scots Minority Languages Song Competition will be held in Inverness on 20 June 2009 as one of a number of regional finals held across Europe. The event is called Nòs Ùr which means ‘New Style’ in Scottish Gaelic, and languages encouraged to enter the competition are Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Ulster Scots, Irish Gaelic, Manx Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish and Breton.
There will be two winners of the competition who will be sent to the final of the pan-European ‘Liet International’ competition which will take place in Leeuwarden in Friesland, Nertherlands next October. One act will be chosen on the night by a public vote using web poll and paper ballot in the hall. The other will be chosen by a jury made up of members from the various language groups involved.
The contest is the only song competition of its kind in Europe and follows a similar format as the Eurovision Song Contest with singers and bands representing a particular country or in this case a minority language. The event will be recorded for televison and radio and will be broadcast live over the internet.

Gig News – March 07 2009
March 20th - Cherry Tree, Walkinstown
Michele Ann Kelly and I are doing a double headline gig on March 20th in the Cherry Tree. I'll be playing my own songs as usual perhaps with a few folk songs thrown in for good measure. Christophe Capewell will be joining me on fiddle. €10 at the Door.
Here's the scoop on what Michele is up to.
In advance of the release of her debut album later this year Michele Ann Kelly is back on the road again and back at Dublin's Cheery Tree. 'Songs That Saved My Life' is an album bursting with emotion, real honest to god songs, everything from romance to down right uplifting tunes. Performing with some of the members of her band 'A Pocket Full of Sugar', Michele will be joined on the night by musicians Eoghan Scott & Chiara Browne, a three piece unplugged adventure not to missed..!
March 27th - Bewley’s Café Theatre
The last two Bewley’s shows sold out which was great and I'm really enjoying playing with the band. The gig on March 27th will be ticketed again so email tickets[at]endareilly.com or ring/text me on 085 7802999.
My good friend Shane Regan will be playing in advance of his E.P. which will be out this Summer. I'm very happy to have Oliver Cole playing some piano and some guitar songs on the night also.
