Michael Manning took up the post back in August
The new Manx Bard says he hopes to bring poetry to more people who may otherwise not get the chance to see its benefits.
Michael Manning became the eighth Manx Bard back in August.
He succeeded Owen Atkinson who'd held the role for the previous twelve months.
Mr Manning told Howard Caine one of his objectives in the role is to open up culture to those who may be on the 'fringes of society':
