Liet comes to Scotland

4th March 2010

Celtic and Scots language songs will showcase at a major international competition. The Scottish Highland capital of Inverness has been selected to host the 7th Liet International Song Competition. The Liet competition is intended to showcase minority or regional languages by fostering songs in the tradition of those languages, and by providing international exposure for artistes from minority or regional cultures. Former Liet competitions have been hosted in Friesland, the Netherlands and Sweden. It has been decided that anyone who will be entering the Nòs Ùr Celtic and Scots song competition will be entered into the larger Liet event because it is being hosted by Inverness. Inverness lies between two traditional Scots-speaking areas located in the Black Isle and Nairnshire. The competition will take place in November 2010, during which 11 finalists will take part. If you will like to enter a Celtic or Scots language song, entries will be considered beginning 1st April 2010. Please see the website at www.liet2010.com.
