'My motivation is to show we're still here' - Annie Kissack
The recipient of the Isle of Man's most prestigious cultural award, the Reih Bleeaney Vanannan, says she's just one piece of the jigsaw of people working on and promoting Manx culture.
Annie Kissack - composer, musician, poet, and teacher - has been awarded the Manannan’s choice award for her devotion to Manx culture, literature and music.
She was also the fifth Manx Bard in 2018, publishing her collection of poems 'Mona Sings' in 2022.
Presenting her with the award, Culture Vannin says Annie's impact on the Isle of Man is 'immeasurable'.
