The Kintyre Forum

I have just heard Frank Rochford on Radio nan Gaidheal performing live at the Mod concert tonight in Dunoon. He won his fiddle competition, and so congratulations go to Frank, his family and teacher(s). He may even make it onto the Mod highlights programme tonight at 11.20 on BBC 2 Scotland. In any case, those who missed the radio programme can "listen again" on the BBC web-site for RnG.

There could be other local winners on these programmes, since I see from the results that Fiona Mitchell got a gold and a silver in the piping. Very well done!

Congratulations to all of those who have participated so far... and good luck to those who are still to perform!

Well done Frank....he is a great artiste!
Mary,Simon and Finton will be really chuffed

I hope that plenty people watched the programme - I know that it is a bit late, but it was worth the wait.

Anyway, both Frank and Fiona were on, and both played really well. A credit to themselves, their families and teachers.

Watched the programme. Campbeltown has always been in the forefront for piping, and it is good to see another up and coming prominent fiddle player from the town.

Congratulations due to both of them, for winning and also for keeping traditions going and putting the town on the musical map.

I see there is no mention of Frank Rochford's success in the Mod report in the Courier, or have I missed it somewhere?
