Mela marvels

Gaelic

- Ten pupils aged 5-9 from Onthank Primary’s Gaelic unit in Kilmarnock, have performed in a Vaisakhi Mela concert in front of a 400-strong audience on Punjabi radio and TV. The invitation arose after the pupils performed a play about the five Sikh symbols and a bhangra dance in front of Dalbir Kaur Singh, a member of the Sikh community and local businesswoman.
