This week our colleagues across the corridor in Ö÷²¥´óÐã Alba launched their new website celebrating the Gaelic Year of Song - It's an impressive project compiling an archive of Gaelic song throughout the year, at the moment it includes performances from over 350 artists and more than 450 songs.

Laura MacRitiche one of the producers has very kindly written a wee introduction to the site for us:

Ö÷²¥´óÐã Alba is delighted to announce the launch of an extensive new website to support the landmark project, Bliadhna nan Ã’ran / Year of Gaelic Song. As well as supporting radio and television content broadcast throughout 2010 on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio nan Gaidheal and on Ö÷²¥´óÐã ALBA, the website also offers a unique opportunity to listen to and view some of the best songs selected from the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's Gaelic song archive.

www.bbc.co.uk/oran allows users to access content quickly and simply by means of 4 key sections: Songs, Writers, Themes and Singers. This is complemented by a programming section, and a Mod archive allowing unique access to highlights from the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's extensive archive of Gaelic Mod recordings from the years between 1946 and 1979.

The site reflects the riches of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's archive of Gaelic song, offering content from across Scotland: from the earliest audio and video recordings to the present day and providing a diverse range of songs with supporting contextual information.

www.bbc.co.uk/oran currently offers the opportunity to listen to over 450 songs with supporting lyrics, 140 excerpts from radio programmes and over 190 video clips from television series including the classic 'Se Ur Beatha and the award winning Aig Cridhe ar Ciùil. Biographical information is also available for approximately 250 singers and writers.

Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio nan Gaidheal's popular Ã’ran an Là is also available on the site with the audio of each day's programme and accompanying verbatim transcripts which, as well as being of interest to Gaelic speakers, will support learners of the language with unique, new and accessible content delivered on a daily basis.

New content will be added to the site on a weekly basis until the end of 2010.

....and in Gaelic
