The Royal National Mòd 2024 continued yesterday with a host of activities and competitions primarily for young people and learners.

Youngsters competed in a number of events including the junior choirs competitions and coveted junior solo singing titles, and Cogadh nan Còmhlan (Battle of the Bands).

Last night saw Barra band, Ceòl a’ Chaisteil, take the winning title in the Cogadh nan Còmhlan under 13s competition, in what was a fiercely fought competition.

They also win recording time at a music studio.

Finals of the Under 19s competition takes place tonight at Argyllshire Gathering Halls, where the five successful finalists will battle it out for the top prize of studio time at a local recording studio.

Now in its third year, the competition offers the chance to see the next generation of talent shine on stage.
