On this week's programme, we hear all about the specially-composed Manx Romances by Dr Martin Ellerby celebrating the Isle of Man Wind Orchestra’s 20th Anniversary and we’re joined by David Dawson of Shoestring Productions, who spills the beans on Avenue Q.
Do contact the show if you’d like to share any creative happenings with us, you can email me at Spotlight@manxradio.com or you can message the Manx Radio Facebook page.
Michael Morrison, chairman of the Isle of Man Wind Orchestra joins us first today to tell us all about the five romantic movements composed for the orchestra by Dr Martin Ellerby in celebration of its’ 20th anniversary.
You’ll have to wait for the world premier on July the 3rd to hear the Five Manx Romances but we hear a lovely recording of the Orchestra playing Finnegan’s Wake just to give you a flavour of things to come!
You’ll have no doubt seen the colourful posters, proclaiming Avenue Q’s return to the Island! We now welcome David Dawson of Shoestring Productions to tell us more about this unusual musical..!
Join me again next Wednesday at half past five and in the meantime you can listen again and get in touch at manxradio.com. Have a lovely creative week!
