Young musicians from the Isle of Man are being encouraged to enter a competition in order to help keep Manx folk culture alive. The Manx Folk Awards is for those aged 18 and over who can perform folk music through dancing, singing, recitation and instrumental classes. The awards take place on Sunday 20th until Wednesday 23rd March and more information can be found here: http://manxfolkawards.weebly.com/ For 2016 we have new classes for claasagh (harp), prash (brass) and feddan vooar (flute) as well as new Manx Gaelic reading classes for all ages. There are also changes to the choir classes, with set pieces for a Manx Gaelic song and a song in English with a Manx theme. The emphasis is always on fun, with children encouraged to take part with a partner if they don't want to perform solo. – JO CALLISTER, ADVISORY TEACHER FOR THE MANX CURRICULUM Last updated Wed 13 Jan 2016
