Bunscoill Musicals

In 2010, as a new teacher at the Manx language immersion school, Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, I co-wrote the first of what was to become a rolling cycle of 7 Manx Gaelic musicals for children with my wonderful creative colleague, musical director of Manx Gaelic Choir Caarjyn Cooidjagh and fifth Manx Bard Annie Kissack RBV. The musicals are currently on their third iterations, being performed this time round on the stage at Peel Centenary Centre. Each musical includes at least 20 original songs written to help tell the story, suit the performers' talents, and help with their language development.
