Manx Bard announcement on Wednesday
A major annual cultural event starts during this week - it's almost time for Manx Litfest 2015.
On Wednesday night the Poetry Slam and, significantly, the announcement of the first living Manx Bard will take place.
It was awarded posthumously to TE Brown last year.
