Almost 50 young people, from the age of 7 through to 17, took part in the Young Singer of Mann Competition at the Erin Arts Centre this weekend. Introduced by organiser Pip Rolfe, each competitor sang two short pieces of their own choosing and all were accompanied by Madeleine Kelly.
Christy was on the panel again, so took the opportunity to record some chat with her fellow Judges - and also caught up with the winners from both Saturday’s Junior heat (Aalish Kilgallon) and Sunday’s Senior winner (Orry Wilson).
Interviewees:
Chair of Judges Angela Stewart
Jane Corkill from the IOM Arts Council
Chris Sullivan
Aalish Kilgallon
Lt Governor Sir John Lorimer
Eve Puzzar (2023 Winner)
Orry Wilson
