Manx Youth Club Celebrates 20 Years of Music and Friendship

The youth club Bree, founded 20 years ago on the Isle of Man, is celebrating two decades of fostering connections and nurturing musical talent. Bree, whose name signifies 'vitality,' was established to offer children an engaging introduction to traditional Manx music and dance. This initiative has empowered young musicians to achieve remarkable milestones, including performing at prestigious venues like the Royal Albert Hall and recording professional albums.

This October half term, Bree will host a two-day workshop in St. John's to commemorate its 20th anniversary. The event invites singers, dancers, and musicians aged 10 to 18 to collaborate on performing a Manx fairy tale. The workshop, costing £20, culminates in a free concert for family and friends, aiming to provide a supportive environment for young performers to build confidence and new friendships, ensuring Manx music and dance endure as a living tradition.
