Mera has enjoyed Culture Vannin’s monthly Bree sessions, and plays as part of a group of Bree alumni called Scran. She has been tutored by superb Scottish harp player Rachel Hair, with whom she performed this year’s Edinburgh Harp Festival before going on to Belfast to receive her BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award.
Las means ignite in the Gaelic languages of Scotland and Ireland. They are all established performers in their own right, and as Las perform Scottish and Irish traditional music and songs in the two branches of Gaelic. As well as their music and song, they also perform Scottish step dance and Irish sean nòs dancing.
Three of them are from Ireland – Edel Ní Churraoin plays tin whistle, button accordion and piano and is also a sean-nós dancer; Gráinne Brady is a fiddle player; and guitarist and singer Catherine Ní Shúilleabháin – and two from Scotland – Suzanne Fivey is a pianist, whistle player and singer, and Joy Dunlop is a singer and Scottish step-dancer.

The band includes Bethan Rhiannon (Williams) and Sam Humphreys, who have visited the festival as accordion and guitar player respectively with leading Welsh band Calan. Bethan also includes her award-winning Welsh clog dancing in her performances.
With their uncompromising tagline, ‘Go loud or go home, boyo!’, NoGood Boyo are helping to take Welsh traditional music onwards and upwards.
The Lawrences are a highly-talented musical family group of Kirsty (whistle and cello), Katie (fiddle and keyboards) and Mark (guitar). They have represented the Isle of Man in a range of inter-Celtic and international events, but have only joined musical forces as a trio comparatively recently.
With a background in traditional music of all sorts, they also perform their own compositions – Katie is a particularly prolific composer.

Throughout their illustrious musical career, there has been the unwavering commitment of the band to bringing the beauty of traditional music, particularly that of the Donegal fiddlers and singers, to contemporary audiences in a way that brings out all its qualities and destroys none. In fact, Altan have always believed that Irish traditional music is a modern music in every sense.
Keggin, Smith, Stitt is an inter-Celtic super-trio of Manx singer, whistle, flute and keyboard player, Ruth Keggin, Welsh accordion wizard Jamie Smith and Scottish guitar and bouzouki maestro, Malcolm Stitt.

As well as leading the very successful and much-recorded band Mabon, Jamie Smith also is a vital component of the highly respected Manx and Irish trios, Barrule and Alaw.
Malcolm Stitt has been involved at the forefront of Scottish traditional music as a founder-member of bands such as Keep It Up and Deaf Shepherd, as well as playing with the finest folk performers from elsewhere, such as Kate Rusby and, of course, as a member of the world-renowned Boys of the Lough.

Blue John Media is delighted to bring the incredible world-renowned US blues and roots music musicians John Miller (guitar/vocals) and Grant Dermody (harmonica/vocals) to the Isle of Man. This show at the Centenary Centre is only one of two shows they are performing together in the British Isles before teaching guitar and harmonica at Blues Week, in Gloucester, UK.
In addition to being a phenomenal musician and recording artist, John Miller has an incredible reputation as a music tutor and has presented a number of tuition DVDs for Stefan Grossman’s Guitar Workshop on the music of several country blues guitar legends including Mississippi John Hurt, Elizabeth Cotten and Furry Lewis (to name but a few).
The late great fingerpicking hero John Fahey described John as ‘just brilliant’ and fellow fingerpicking legend Duck Baker said: “This is not the boy on the magazine cover but the guy the pros admire and cop licks from (I can attest to this).”
Grant Dermody is a harmonica master who has made amazing solo albums, trio albums with John Miller and Orville Johnson and has recorded and performed with other musical giants.
Among those has been Eric Bibb, who describes Grant as “One of the greatest blues and roots harmonica players around. His playing reaches deep into the well of tradition and at the same time takes the music to exciting new places with a very personal sound. Working with him in the studio and on the stage is always a pleasure.”
Dirk Powell said about him: “Grant Dermody plays the harmonica with power that is equally effective and evocative whether held in reserve or allowed to wail to its fullest and wildest degree. His musical voice, both through the instrument and singing itself, reunited forms and feels that are not-so-distant cousins into one wide and calmly flowing stream.”
Grant, like John, is a master teacher too and blues and roots musicians around the world have learned directly from them at workshops, including the popular Euroblues Promotions’ Blues Week event in the UK.

Dark Comedy, History
Online Tickets | Facebook Event| Trailer
Nominated for Best Screenplay and Outstanding British Film of the Year at the 2018 BAFTAs. This wickedly dark comedy follows Stalin’s final days in 1952 and depicts, with zero decency or taste, the chaos that ensued as his lackeys turn on each other for power and survival. In the Kremlin no one can hear you scheme! Contains bad language, violence, tons of brilliant one liners and lots and lots of dark humour.

Winner of 2 Oscars, 1 BAFTA plus 46 award wins and 111 nominations. This is the utterly amazing true story of Desmond Doss, the bravest man who ever lived. During the horrific battle of Okinowa he single-handedly saved 75 men. What’s even more remarkable is that he was also the only American soldier to fight on the front lines in WW2 without a weapon as he was a pascifist and stayed true to his beliefs. He was the first ever conscientious objector to receive the Purple Heart for bravery which was personally awarded by President Truman. Contains realistic war scenes

One of the most visually stunning and audacious cinematic art projects of all time. Taking over 7 years to complete, the life, death and artwork of Van Gogh were recreated with actors against green screen and then 125 artists were employed to hand paint 62,450 frames in Van Gogh’s unique style. This visually stunning Oscar nominated animation offers a glimpse into Van Gogh’s hyper-sensual world, amplified by Clint Mansell’s gorgeous score. Nobody has ever seen a film like this before, a feast for the senses!
