Young singers and players from around the Island and beyond, are keeping our musical traditions alive in Ramsey this weekend.
The town's hosting this year's Shennaghys Jiu Celtic Youth Festival, with local performers welcoming visiting bands from Scotland and Newcastle.
There is a full programme of gigs at venues in Ramsey, Peel and Lonan - some are free - and the event goes on until Monday evening.

Speaking at the launch she said the festival is a great event all round (audio file attached):
