Scran: Manx music youth group

The traditional music of the Isle of Man is at the heart of Manx culture today.
A key part of this is the young group, Scran.

Made up of young people hand-picked from amongst the best musicians in the Isle of Man today, Scran is a dynamic band of people ranging in age from 12 to 18, interpreting and developing traditional Manx music in new and exciting directions.
Formed in 2015 and today led by David Kilgallon, the band fosters and develops young Manx musical talent, and over the years has helped to produce successful musicians such as Mera Royle and Isla Callister.
Scran is an extension of the Bree traditional music youth education movement organised by Culture Vannin.

The three Manx tunes performed by Scran in these films are: Jerrey yn Theihll (Manx trad.), Eunyssagh Vona (Manx trad.) and Coach to Lorient (Frank Joughin).
All arrangements by David Kilgallon and Scran.
Performing here are Aalish, Alyth, Daniel, Frank, Fraser and Resa, with David Kilgallon.
