The Manx Music Festival took place last week from the 22nd to 29th April in the Villa Marina, Douglas. ‘The Guild’, as it is locally known, is held annually in April at the Villa Marina and is 131 years old, having run since 1892.
The Buchan School and King William’s College students took part in a variety of different categories, ranging from Public Speaking, Mime, News Reading, Singing, Dancing and Brass.
