On 4th April 2018, Manx harpist Mera Royle won the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award. This is her story. Manx musician Mera Royle started playing the harp when she was only nine. Another nine years later, she was collecting the Young Folk Award at BBC Radio 2’s Folk Awards ceremony in Belfast. This film explores Mera’s journey with music, from playing the penny whistle as a child, to harp playing in young Manx folk band Scran, to winning the award and beyond. Mera’s music is part of the Manx folk and traditional music scenes which has grown significantly over the past decade. Hear from Dr Breesha Maddrell of Culture Vannin, an organisation with Manx culture at its heart, and Rachel Hair, Mera’s harp teacher of eight years, about how Manx folk music has grown and the significance of Mera’s contributions.

2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the Manx Youth Band and the 25th anniversary of Manx Concert Brass. The Manx National Youth Band was formed in 1970 by Jim Crosbie MBE. The band quickly developed a reputation for excellence and its success eventually led to the creation of Manx Concert Brass in 1995 for players over the age of 19. Now under the baton of Ian Clague MBE, the Manx Youth Band has nurtured some of the very best young musicians in the Isle of Man and provided generations of islanders with the chance to forge lifelong friendships and memories from their association with music. The influence of the band on the Isle of Man via their youth programme and the competitive success of Manx Concert Brass is undeniable. With their help, alongside the other bands on the island, brass has become a staple of Manx music culture. Produced by Dark Avenue Film with funding from Culture Vannin and the Department for Enterprise. Directed by Patrick Crellin and Bethany White.
