Bree celebrated Hop tu naa with its 7th annual weekend of music, dance and drama workshops at Douglas Youth Arts Centre on Kensington Road.
Taking the traditional songs, dance and stories of Hop tu naa as inspiration, the talented youngsters worked with Bree tutors to produce a very creative concert at the end of the weekend.
As well as performances from three new folk groups, Moot Reesht, The Weird Frogs and The Spooky Singers, the programme also included a new song called “Clock Strikes Twelve”, a play about Jinny the Witch, compositions in the Manx idiom and a fantastic new dance for four called “The Accident” (Y Drogh Haghyrt).
The concert ended with an all-singing, all-dancing and all-playing rendition of Hop tu naa!
