The second Manx Folk Awards was held 18- 20 March at the Douglas Youth Arts Centre in Kensington Road. Over 400 primary and secondary children took part in 47 classes incorporating Manx music, dance, poetry and song. New this year was a category for the fiddle/viola - individuals and groups took part using the Fiddyl resources created by Laura Rowles for the Manx Heritage Foundation. Once again this year the winning children received vouchers for Manx National Heritage site shops. The awards were jointly organised by the Department of Education and Children, the Manx Heritage Foundation and Manx National Heritage. Jo Callister, Advisory Teacher for the Manx Curriculum, said ‘We would like to thank all the schools who took part in the competitions this week. Both the pupils and their teachers have worked very hard in such a short half term to pull everything together. Without all their hard work there wouldn’t be any competitions. Many thanks also to the adjudicators who had the unenviable task of choosing the winners from such a high standard of competitors.’ Full results are online here
