DESC Manx Folk Awards Concerts taking place during May
DESC Manx Folk Awards Concerts taking place during May
Fresh from a record-breaking year for the DESC Manx Folk Awards / Aundyryn Kiaull Theay Vannin, Culture Vannin is excited to bring you two special concerts in celebration of Year of the Manx Language!
These free concerts will take place in Douglas and Peel, and will feature a selection of performances from youngsters who will showcase their incredible talents in Manx music, song, dance and the spoken word.
It is a great chance for some of the young people to perform again and for their families to watch (as not everybody is able to make it to the awards themselves during the week). We also hope that the participants will enjoy watching each other’s performances, mingle and meet with others with a shared interest in Manx folk traditions.
Venues have been chosen in central locations, handy for shops, cafes, and cultural and heritage sites, so don’t forget to bring your Mannin Aboo Passport with you (or pick one up while you’re at the concert) and see which local businesses are offering stamps in exchange for a Manx word or phrase. As organisers, Culture Vannin, will be offering “Cultoor/Culture” stamps if you give us a “Moghrey/Fastyr mie”!
Manx Folk Awards concerts will be taking place at:
Rosemount Trinity Methodist Church, Douglas – Sunday 10th May at 2.30pm
Peel Centenary Centre, Peel – Sunday 17th May at 2.30pm
Entry is free and everyone is welcome to attend.
Culture Vannin extends its gratitude to the Domestic Event Fund for supporting these concerts and to all the teachers, group leaders, schools and parents of the performers for facilitating their involvement.
