JulesVerneTheory Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Hi All : we are a couple of months of Publishing the Manx Music Charts ! The page is up on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/manxchart All the new Manx Music Releases are gathered at the following playlist : https://open.spotify.com/user/arroncx/playlist/4YZbE1uwDbCGpTd7N61nZX?si=wnShA58lQHuvvmx33o0fxw If Charts are you thing, and Manx Music is your thing, you'll love this :) Charts for this week here : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallaDoc Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Sorry, I don't quite get it. Is this chart meant to be for music produced in the Isle of Man, or sold in the Isle of Man? I'm assuming the latter because the top artist on the chart is some guy called Varrick Frost, who I have never heard of, who lives in Hamburg, Germany. Similarly, the No. 2 guy, Ivan Ivanovich, who I have also never heard of, hails from Trier, Germany. I see there are some home grown Manx groups on the chart like Mec Lir. How about promoting Manx music by having a chart just for Manx music, and you could maybe call it, er, the Manx Music Chart (just a suggestion)? Or you could have a chart devoted to German music and call it the Manx Music Chart just to keep people guessing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallaDoc Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's me attempting to play the melodeon in The Mitre in Ramsey on a Friday night. Audience participation type music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not quite like that. Before rolling up and playing, you need to be familiar with the Ten Commandments of Jamming, as expounded here: http://www.irishmusicottawa.ca/theten.htm It's quite amusing to read even if you don't take part in Irish session music.

Declan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Because Manx Music is all about sitting in a circle, excluding anyone else, whilst conforming to an arcane set of rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Saturday night is Apocalypse Noa which is going to be great, Ransom and the magnificent Post War Stories. Dunno if you'd call them Manx Music, but it is music made in the Isle of Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Manx Music seems to be a descriptive device to ease through the poncing of a load of Arts Council cash for pet/vanity projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieBrown Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 What exactly is the arts council for if not poncing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
