Jordanne is the 10th person to take on the role
The Isle of Man’s new Manx Bard has told Manx Radio she feels ‘very privileged’ to be selected for the role.
Jordanne Kennaugh has become the tenth person to hold the position and takes over from Boakesey Closs.
The Manx Bard is responsible for helping to highlight Manx culture both on the Island and further afield.
The first person to be appointed Bard status was T.E Brown, posthumously, in 2014.
Jordanne, who is from the south of the Island, is said to have impressed the judges with her ‘enthusiasm for and her understanding of the power of poetry’.
Jordanne told Manx Radio she is excited to get started:
