new book of songs in English to be produced

01 Dec 2011

I’m currently putting together a book of Manx songs in English for the Manx Heritage Foundation, to be published in March 2012. I’m looking for donations of songs from any genre really, as long as they’re strong enough to stand up just as melody, chords and lyrics. We try to keep the cost of the final publication low and there’s no profit on sales.

So far we have donations from bands like Scaanjoon, The Mollag Band, Moot, various individuals and suggestions that we try to get permission to include songs from the music hall era, from The Tholtan Builders and Stuart Slack. If you think you have something you’d like to share with people, then email me
on mhfmusic(AT)mhf.org.im I’m happy to transcribe from recordings, accept hand-written music and words or have all the work done for me as you send in a Sibelius file!
