The Isle of Man joined the rest of the world in celebrating the 40th anniversary celebration of ‘Make Music Day’ or ‘Laa Jannoo Kiaull’ on June 21st. Launched in 1982 in France as Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day is held in more than 120 countries.
As part of the international “The Global Folk Challenge”, Manx youth group Bree met in the Henry Bloom Noble Library in Douglas to film a German song called “Nun will der Lenz uns grüßen”
The challenge of learning the Manx Gaelic song, “S’mie Lhiam Cappan dy Hey”, was taken up by mother and son Amanda and Myles from Massachusetts, USA. Here is Bree also singing “S’mie Lhiam Cappan dy Hey”.
Sravanti Mazumdar released her version of ‘Ellan Vannin’ to celebrate the day too.
Un Choraa Manx Gaelic choir, which consists of children and parents from the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh chose to stage a flash-mob performance at the start of school day, Ruby Biskee Taylor sang in Strand Street and The Mannic Ukes joined the Jukulelians at Jurby Community Centre to all perform together!
