Arrane Son Mannin in Peel this evening
Songwriters will be vying for a chance to represent the Isle of Man on the international stage tonight (7 Jan).
The stage is set for this year's Arrane Son Mannin, or a Song for Man competition, where local bands and singers will perform original songs, written in Manx, to a panel of judges.
The winners will go on to represent the Island with their song at the Pan Celtic Music Festival in Carlow, Ireland this April.
Free to attend, the evening gets underway from 7:30pm at the Masonic Hall in Peel.
Organiser Fiona McArdle says the competition ensures the Island is represented at the festival:
Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
