taking our culture forward

 

Nearly 50 videos of performances from the second day of the Manx Folk Awards 2023, covering music, dance and recitation from Key Stage 1 school age children.

The Manx Folk Awards (Aundyryn Kiaull-Theay Vannin) are an annual set of informal competitions in traditional Manx music, dance and performance.

Organised by Department of Education, Sport and Culture, and Culture Vannin, the Manx Folk Awards are held the last week before the Easter holidays at a number of venues including the Douglas Youth Arts Centre, Trinity Church and the Methodist Hall, St. John's.
