Toshiaght Arree 2018 Feb / Mayrnt 2018 March manx music today Biskee Brisht retain top title as winners of Arrane son Mannin! A full Hall (Peel Masonic) was a welcome setting for the annual Arrane son Mannin new song competition (6th January) when three groups performed their new songs in Manx for prize money of £300.00 sponsored by Culture Vannin. There was a Manx concert either side of this highlight, with an excellent range of local talent. Triskellion (or ¾ of it as illness had struck) featured Owen Williams (composer) with Lukas Hayhurst and singer Sarah James. Aeron Roberts would have been the second singer, but bronchitis had stolen her voice. Owen’s song was ‘Arrane ny Deiney G’obbragh’ – ‘Song of the Working Men’ and was written in Manx as Owen is already a fluent young Manx speaker and talented musician. Jedoonee Bagoon came next with James Franklin and Cori Phillips performing their haunting ‘Billey Euar ny Greg’ – ‘The Juniper Tree’, a melody inspired by a dark fairytale of the brothers Grimm. Biskee Brisht followed, a five piece band with composer, vocalist and ukelele player Ruby Biscoe-Taylor, David Kinley, Matt Brewster, Django Kinley and John Kaighin. Their song was ‘Dty Skeealyn’ – ‘Your Stories’ with a storyline of a family’s discovery of their Manx heritage and folklore. Adjudicators David Kilgallon, Laura Rowles (a former Pan-Celtic winner), and Peter Crellin had the usual difficult task of deciding on a winner: their choice was Biskee Brisht who will travel to Letterkenny in Ireland in Easter week to compete against new songs from the other five Celtic countries. www.panceltic.ie The concert featured many fine Manx musicians and singers, in several ages and guises, from young cousins Josh and Ealish dancing, to grandmother Clare with Cliogaree Twoaie Gaelic choir which Clare has led for many years. Sons John and David also performed in a couple of diverse roles. Matt Kelly gave his guitar and vocal performance to an enthusiastic audience, as did talented sisters Katie and Kirsty Lawrence with fiddle, piano, cello, low whistle and vocals. In this month’s edition... Young band Scran, down to only four members together with their mentor Paul Rogers, also produced some excellent traditional music. Biskee Brisht • Be in a FOLKESTRA! performed too, including last year’s winning Arrane son Mannin song, ‘Nagh • Shennaghys Jiu NEWS Abbyr Smoo’ which earned well- deserved applause and sent everyone off home humming the tune. • The Manx Folk Awards All participants once more gave of their time and talent free of charge and • Mera & Isla make Island deserve much thanks for their continuing generous support of Arrane son proud Mannin and their promotion of new Manx music, song and dance. Many thanks also go to Culture Vannin for its support and work in promoting Manx language, music, song and dance and the wider Manx cultural tradition.
