GROUPS WANTED TO REPRESENT THE ISLE OF MAN IN LORIENT, BRITTANY FOR THE AUGUST 2013 FESTIVAL

01 Oct 2012

In August 2012, Barrule, Ny Fennee and David Kilgallon, Russell Gilmour, Ruth Keggin and Dave Pearce represented the Isle of Man at Europe’s largest Celtic festival in Lorient, Brittany. Such a huge festival starts its planning early so now is the time to think about applying to represent the Island at next year’s event. The festival committee has to approve any recommendations made by each nation’s delegate, and to do that they are keen to hear recorded tracks and to see video footage of dance groups.

Bands who have a CD to sell usually are favoured over those without, although it is not essential. The festival dates for 2013 look to be 2-11 August. You would be expected to attend for as much of the festival as possible and to perform at the IOM pavilion to support the whole delegation. Please email Aalish Maddrell to express your initial interest...sending demos will come later.
