Festival Interceltique to take place from 2-11 August
Julia Ashby Smyth has been named as the Manx artist who will represent the Island at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient.
This year's festival is taking place from 2-11 August.
She'll be working alongside Manx Radio's Sarah Hendy, who's also the Manx Arts Coordinator.
Both Julia and Sarah joined Christy DeHaven on Sunday Soundtrack.
First, Julia told Christy about her artistic style:

Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
Drone users reminded not to fly devices during Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix course closures
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
