A selection of seasonal gatherings around the Island which featured Manx music this Christmas. Just some of them here...

St Ninian’s Lower School Folk Group played Hunt the Wren and Creg Willy Syl, and Foxdale School sang and played Arrane ny Niee in their carol services. Karen and John Elliot performed Lullaby of the Virgin Mary and Cold Blows the Night at the ‘Wurlitzer Wednesday’ lunchtime concert, followed by the Tynwald Singers who sang Miss ML Wood’s ‘Sing Soft and Low’ and ‘The Christmas Bell Song’ by former MHK and MLC Cecil McFee.

Louise and Matt Callister from Ny Fennee performed at the Michael Players’ Oie’ll Verree for the Old Christmas. Ny Fennee also organised a ceili for the Old Christmas, which featured guest performances from Amy Stoutt and Rachel Hair, Luke and Adam Melvin as well as hosts, Mactullagh Vannin and Ny Fennee themselves.

Here’s a picture of Clare Kilgallon conducting Cliogaree Twoaie Manx choir at the Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh Shirveish y Nollick at Peel Methodist Chapel. Well done to organisers Peter Hayhurst and Julie Matt hews for another successful event.
