Ny Fennee

Ny Fennee is a dynamic, young dance group founded in 1980 which is based in the North of the Island. Under the leadership of Juan Garrett, the group has worked to evolve traditional dances along new lines. Ny Fennee performs at local events and has strong ties to the Celtic youth festival, Shennaghys Jiu, held in Ramsey each Easter. Ny Fennee means ‘The Heroes’ in Manx Gaelic.

The group is constantly refreshed with young dancers from local Ramsey schools which means that Ny Fennee’s energy sets new standards for Manx dance performance.
