27 Jun 2016


Head to the Villa Marina Arcade in Douglas on a Sunday afternoon or Tuesday and Thursday evening, and you will be in for a treat!

The IOM Arts Council, in collaboration with Culture Vannin, has organised a series of free concerts featuring local performers. June sees a programme of brass band music, but from the end of the month and throughout July, Thursday evenings will have a variety of Manx music and dance acts. Gaelic choir Caarjyn Cooidjagh start proceedings on Thursday 30th June, sharing the bill with Manx dancers Perree Bane. The following Thursday features Rachel Hair’s young harpers, Claasagh and Gaelic choir Cliogaree Twoaie. Linking in with Yn Chruinnaght festival on the 14th, the Manx music concert has singer-songwriter Matt Creer sharing the evening with Rushen Silver Band who will perform Manx arrangements from their trip to Lorient last year. Folk singing favourites Shoh Slaynt host the evening on the 21st, and to finish the season on the 28th, you can hear vocal duo Marlene and Dilys sing songs from their new album Fy Yerrey and enjoy entertainment from the Manx Folk Dance Society.
