A song about the night of the Summerland fire has been chosen to represent the Isle of Man in the International Song Contest at next year’s Pan Celtic Festival in the Irish Republic.
It was selected at the annual 'Arrane son Mannin', or 'Song for Man', competition for original compositions in Manx, which took place at the Masonic Hall in Peel last night (Friday).
'In Summerland' was performed by the group Ny Jinnyn, and was co-written by Laura and David Rowles, and Lizzie and Dave Mclean.
As Dave explains, it was a personal account of the evening:
Misuse of AI causing harm to the Island's young people
Commissioners disappointed that Local Government Bill not discussed in Keys
MHK refuses to reveal name of school at centre of 'carol ban' claims
Dolly Parton's 'Imagination Library' now available in Douglas
Those struggling with Dry January should consider taking a longer break
