Appointment announced by Lieutenant Governor
Zoe Cannell has been announced as the 6th Manx Bard at a special event at Moorhouse Farm.
Zoe's name was announced by Lieutenant Governor Sir Richard Gozney.
The idea for a Manx Bard was proposed by Bridge Carter some years ago, with the first being announced in 2014 as TE Brown.
Four living Manx Bards have been announced since - Stacey Astill, John 'Dog' Callister, Sara Goodwin and Annie Kissack.
Zoe says she's delighted to have been appointed:
