Shoppers were “doublestopped” in their tracks last month by the world’s first Manx music flash mob! Fiddle players of various ages and abilities came together in the Strand Shopping Centre to celebrate World Fiddle Day on Saturday 18 May.

David Kilgallon and Russell Cowin started the flash mob set on fiddle and double bass, while other fiddlers randomly appeared from the surrounding shops and down the list and escalator!

Well known Manx fiddlers Katie Lawrence and David Kilgallon then led workshops before a repeat performance of the flash mob for new onlookers.
