After a cracking weekend at the Scots Fiddle Festival in Edinburgh, it was nice to see so much interest in Manx music. If any budding fiddle players are about here next year, I recommend it! Tons of workshops, concerts, ceilidhs etc.

Tom Callister gave a workshop to a great bunch of fiddlers, teaching them some popular Manx tunes, which went down a storm. Barrule even managed to pass on their magic code word (and a CD of course) to none other than Liz Carroll!
