Air Didòmhnaich 2 Dùbhlachd 1923, chaidh a' chiad sheirbheis Ghàidhlig a chraoladh air rèidio leis an Urr Iain MacGilleBhàin bho Àrd Eaglais Shaor Aonaichte ann an Obar Dheathain. Bidh Alleluia 100 air a lìbhrigeadh le Iain MacFhionghain is aoighean cliùiteach a’ seinn òrain adhraidh airson an clach-mhìle seo a chomharrachadh. Còmhla ri Iain tha Raonaid Nic an Fhùcadair, ar Stiùiriche-Ciùil, a’ toirt còmhla cuirm-chiùil sgoinneil le Gillebrìde Mac’IlleMhaoil, Claire Frances NicNèill, buill Còisir Ghàidhlig Obar Dheathain fo stiùir Cearaidh Cheanadach, Carol-Anne NicAoidh, Hayley Keenan agus an t-Urr Daibhidh MacNeacail a’ meòrachadh air a’ phàirt a tha na meadhanan nar creideamh. Cuideachd cluinnear dàn spioradail bho Dhòmhnall Eachann Meek ann an Tiriodh.
