Marown School feddan/whistle group

Lots of Manx music featured in Marown Primary School’s end of year concert last month (10 July). The school’s new folk group performed lovely arrangements of the air Arrane Ben-Vlieaun followed by the lively Chanter’s Tune, and Class 4 Feddan whistle students performed Smuggler’s Lullaby, Cuckoo! and Bee dty Host. Well done to their teacher Jacqueline Shirtliff who is doing a wonderful job! (see photo).
In other news, PHAB celebrated national week with a Manx themed evening. Before tucking into their Manx cheese and bonnag, students from PHAB (Physically Handicapped & Able Bodied) youth club had a workshop with the Manx music development team. They learnt the Wool Winding Song, joined in with some lively dance tunes on percussion instruments and had a go at Step Dance and Hunt the Wren.
