Culture Vannin’s Manx Music Team travelled to Glasgow to sell Manx music and dance to festival organisers, promoters and journalists from around the world. Showcase Scotland’s Trade Fair is an important way of getting acts booked so we were delighted that David Kilgallon took time out of his holiday to give us a hand. We pressed many many CDs into the hands of very important festival organisers and hope that this will pay dividends for all Manx acts. It was also an important opportunity to network and to find out about new projects and ideas - we were delighted to chat to Brian O hEadhra and Ian Smith from Creative Scotland in particular and to catch up with old friends like Lisardo Lombardia, director of Festival Interceltique de Lorient.

We also spent time talking to Fiona Dalgetty from Feis Rois, who held a stunning concert in St Andrews in the Square featuring their many talented young performers from their various Ceilidh Trail projects as well as an exchange with Australian musicians.
