The launch of The Mollag Band's new CD, Afloat, took place on the final day of Yn Chruinnaght as part of events being held on the forecourt of the House of Manannan in Peel. A large crowd gathered to hear the popular local band, followed by a selection of other Celtic musicians and dancers.
Bathed in warm, summer sunshine the seven-strong Mollag Band presented a selection of songs and tunes based on their extensive repertoire, including material from their new CD.
Many of their fans took advantage of the free session, which included an open invitation to join members of the band in celebration of the launch of their latest CD, with Pimms and home-made refreshments.
The Mollag Band will shortly be travelling to Brittany, where they will represent the Isle of Man at the annual Inter-Celtic festival in Lorient, which attracts close to one million people during ten days of festivities.
Copies of the CD are available now from usual Island outlets priced at £13.
