On the morning of Friday 2nd May 2014, 12 members of the Manx Folk Dance Society (MFDS) fl ew to Birmingham, to be met by their friends in the Wayfarers Folk Dance Group, whom they were staying with for the Bank Holiday Weekend. They were taken to Cadbury World, where 2 more members of MFDS, in their camper, joined them. After some lunch, there was a very 'chocolaty' tour, which told the history of chocolate and the Cadbury family, along with free samples! There was a short tour of part of the factory, but there was not a lot to see. There was the chance to see some of the work done, with a demonstration of the old-fashioned method of making chocolates by hand. The tour ended in the Chocolate Shop, where many were tempted to spend some of their money! After an evening meal, there was the chance to catch up with more dancers and friends from the Wayfarers and the fi nal 2 joined the MFDS (making a total of 16), having been for a Racing Car driving experience earlier in the day!! They met in a hall in the village of Studley for a general exchange of dances and some nibbles and chat.

The next day, they drove to Stratford upon Avon, where both groups danced for about one and a half hours in the new Fireman's Arena, which is dedicated to 4 local fi remen who lost their lives in a fi re nearby. This is near the Playhouse and the river. It was a very calm and gloriously sunny day, with many people in the area. After a picnic lunch, there was a trip on the river on a tour boat - it was all very tranquil! In the evening a meal was provided in the Coach & Horses Pub in Harvington, followed by an hilarious game of skittles - with 7 mixed teams of 5 players from both groups.

On Sunday, after a free morning, it was off to Baddesley Clinton to dance at this National Trust property. Both groups performed between 2pm and 4.30pm to an appreciative audience, with a short gap in the middle for refreshments. Again the weather was sunny and warm. Some of the Manx dancers took the opportunity to have a look around the lovely Manor House. Then it was on to the home of a couple of the Wayfarers for a barbecue meal followed by music and of course dancing! There was also an exchange of gifts - various chocolate goodies from Cadbury World for the MFDS and a book about the Isle of Man for the Wayfarers.

Monday was the fi nal day for 9 of the Manx dancers, many of whom had a walking tour of Birmingham in the morning, before heading out to the Airport for an afternoon fl ight back to the Island, in time to go back to work on Tuesday, after a wonderful weekend with old friends and fellow dancers. The other seven returned home over the next few days.

This is the third year of the Manx Folk Awards – Aundyryn Kiaull yn Theay Vannin. They are hosted by the Department of Education and Children, Culture Vannin and Manx National Heritage to celebrate the Island's music, dance, poetry and song. For Island of Culture 2014, each primary school was invited to enter a fi ve minute multimedia presentation celebrating the Manx music, dance, song and drama that happens in their school. This was judged by the talented blues artist, and Island of Culture 2014 ambassador, Davy Knowles, who will now visit the winning school during the year. Davy said: 'What a fantastic video from Bunscoill Ghaelgagh! They looked like they had so much fun making it. I can’t wait to pay them a visit to meet them all, and hopefully they won’t mind teaching me some Manx. Really brilliant, very well done to all involved.' The winning video captured the pupils of Bunscoill Ghaelgagh showing what Manx culture means to them. This included Manx traditional songs as well as new songs in Manx composed by the teachers and pupils, one of which they fi lmed as a 'fl ash mob' in the yard at break time. They are shown enjoying Manx dancing, traditional arts and crafts, drama, storytelling and playing traditional tunes on a variety of instruments. The activities are introduced in Manx by pupil presenters and the fi lm is subtitled for non-Manx speakers. Davy, who hails from Port St Mary and went to Castle Rushen High School, has found fame as one of the world’s most highly acclaimed young blues artists, and last year willingly accepted the Arts Council’s invitation to be Island of Culture Ambassador. As part of the Island of Culture, Davy will be producing a fi lmed documentary all about his Manx roots. Davy said: 'I have felt for a while that it is time to return to my Manx roots and explore the unique, fascinating history and stories behind beautiful Manx traditional songs with which I grew up. I want to capture the sounds, sights and rich culture of the Isle of Man, and also document my journey in discovering what was always at my feet growing up on the Island, but of which I took little notice. I look forward to visiting Bunscoill Ghaelgagh to share in the rich Manx culture and life that happens there.'
