Mactullagh Vannin

Mactullagh Vannin has been described as the seminal Manx band. Indeed, they were one of the first bands to release a recording – in those days in cassette form – of Manx traditional music. That was 1986 and they have been together in various line-ups ever since. After twenty years they finally decided to move into the world of CDs, re-releasing their original self-titled album with some new tracks as Twisted Roots. Mactullagh Vannin looks to the roots of the Manx tradition, bending and twisting them in such a way as to produce dynamic and exciting arrangements which have rightly transformed Manx music.
