You can now learn the Island's traditional songs - thanks to a new release of 47 free audio tracks online.

Materials to learn sixteen Manx Gaelic songs have been released online by Culture Vannin, with sheet music, pronunciation guides, demonstrations and piano accompaniment available on the Culture Vannin website.

Singers can learn each song with the help of Annie Kissack who pronounces the Manx Gaelic lyrics and demonstrates how to perform it.

In addition, there are piano accompaniments to sing along to at home.
