Some classes see change in popularity over time
The organisers of the Guild have stressed the importance of moving with the times.
The 127th Manx Music, Speech and Dance Festival gets underway at the Villa Marina later this week.
While there are many traditional classes, this year sees the introduction of news reading and stand-up comedy competitions.
Vice-chairman Anne Clarke says the popularity of some classes has changed over the years:
'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
Policy 'reflects the key principles associated with Benedict’s Law'
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
More warm and dry weather is forecast
'Come From Away' to continue after cast member injured during rehearsal
Two Feathers Productions issues statement
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
Baptist disappointed with lack of investment in town's play areas
