Scran: Manx youth music 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.
It is an extension of the Bree traditional music youth education movement organised by Culture Vannin.
This short film seeks to show more of what the group is and how it works.
It was recorded in Ramsey in 2024.

    I worked with Albert on the Ben My Chree. One TT week sailing we were on the vehicle deck parking and lashing bikes. They had to be stacked close together and Albert after watching me trying to persuade bikers to get closer to the next bike, he said “watch this” and the next bike along he directed them to point their bike with the front wheel close in, he then nipped around the back and lifted the bike and rider into the right position. We became a good team from then on.

    Groudle Glen will live in my heart as long as it continues to beat. But, my question, and this may be a false memory. Around 1968/9, someone told me about a place on the island that had been painted by a 'famous artist', it was called, if memory serves, The Seven Fields of Green' and I have the faintest of memories that I actually stood where the scene was painted. I've tried to 'google it' but to no avail, can anyone enlighten me?

    • @culturevannin8486
      @culturevannin8486 Місяць тому

      Sadly not. We would assume that there was once a rocky outcrop around there by which someone kept their cows, so people referred to it as 'Creg ny Baa' as a description, which soon became a name, and this transferred over to the pub that was built near it... But the actual story is lost in time - all we have, like so many places around the Island, is just the name. :)

    The British did the same in Canada during the first world war they were putting Ukrainians in interment camps some 19000 males and during their stay they were exploited as free labour. Things changed when a Ukrainian Canadian won the VC for Hill 70 in France in 1917 . During the second world war over 35000 Canadian Ukrainians served and took part in D Day they had a lot of casualties.
