Rushen MHK Phil Gawne performs at Interceltique Festival de Lorient
Focus on the Isle of Man continues at a cultural gathering in Brittany, France.
More than 800,000 people go to the Interceltique Festival de Lorient every year.
Rushen MHK Phil Gawne is there in a political capacity, but also as a performer.
He told Amy Griffiths how much of a difference being an honoured nation has made to the Manx experience of the festival:
Bishop's vote...vote...pushed back to January
Debate on Isle of Man Constitution Bill adjourned until the new yearÂ
Dates for rebranded Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival announced
'The Big Manx Feast' will return in September next year
Treasury eyes tougher immigration rules to tackle 'risks' facing system
Higher pay requirements and stricter dependant policies to be reviewed by Council of Ministers
Business confidence cools as costs climb and demand outlook weakens, survey finds
