BBC ALBA - Trusadh, Series 9, Seachdain a' Mhoid 2016/Mod Week 2016

Behind the scenes at one of Scotland's top cultural festivals.

Air cùl gnothaichean aig aon de phrìomh Fhèisean cultarach na h-Alba. Documentary examining the organisation and planning behind the Royal National Mod.

As dèidh ullachadh de 3 bliadhna gu leth, iomadach coinneamh, agus barrachd is 25 tachartasan son airgead a thogail, bha am Mòd Nàiseanta, am prìomh fhèis Ghàidhlig ann an Alba a tha a' comharrach na Gàidhlig mar chànan, ealain agus chultar, air ais ann an Steòrnabhagh anns an Dàmhair 2016. Ach le tuairmse gun robh 8000 an làthair, ciamar a tha tachartas cho mòr a' tighinn gu bith?
Tha Seachdain a' Mhòid 2016 a' toirt sùil air cùl gnothaichean agus sinn a' coinneachadh cuid den fheadhainn air a bheil cùisean a' crochadh, agus a' leantainn cuid den fheadhainn a tha a' gabhail pàirt.
Tha sgioba a' mhòid na bhuidheann shònraichte de luchd-obrach a' mhòid agus luchd saor-thoileach, agus tha iad ag obair gu dripeil fad na seachdain. Aig cridhe cùisean tha an comataidh ionadail a tha air a bhith a' togail airgead fad 3 bliadhna, 's a thog £30,500, agus tron t-seachdain chithear barrachd na 100 stiùbhard a' cuideachadh gus cùisean a ruith gu h-òrdail.
Leanaidh sinn cuideachd Coinneach MacLeòid, fear a bhuineas dha Leòdhas bho thùs ach a tha a-nise a' fuireach ann an Lunnainn, 's e a' gabhail pàirt ann am prìomh fharpais seinn nan inbheach son luchd ionnsachaidh - am bonn airgid, agus Còisir Ghàidhlig Bharraigh, a tha a' gabhail pàirt anns an dàrna mòd aca.   
Tha cuideachd cèiliche ann air nach robhar an dùil nuair a nochdas am Prionnsa Teàrlach air an là as trainge den t-seachdain !

After three and a half years in the planning, endless meetings and no fewer than 25 fundraisers, the Royal National Mod, Scotland's premier Gaelic festival of language, arts and culture, was back in Stornoway in October 2016. But with an estimated 8000 attending, how does an event of this scale all come together?

Mod Week 2016 takes a look behind the scenes, as we meet some of those who help make the mod happen on the ground, and follow the journeys of some of those competing. The Mod team is a unigue collaborative effort of staff and volunteers alike, and we meet them as they work tirelessly behind the scenes throughout the week.

The local committee are key and have been fundraising for three years, raising up to £30,500, and the week itself sees over 100 stewards in action. We also follow the fortunes of Kenneth Macleod, a Lewisman now living in London as he takes part in the premier adult singing event for learners - the silver pendant, and the Barra Gaelic choir, taking part in only their second mod. There's also a surprise when Prince Charles pays a visit on the busiest day of the Mod.
