The
Manx music festival is a yearly music festival that is held at the end of each
April in Douglas. This was originally founded in 1892 after the music classes
were included in the Fine Arts and Industrial Guild, after which the festival
gets its informal name of the guild. Local tribes and visitors are invited to
take part in different singing, instrumental, drama and public speaking
classes. At the end of the festival, the winners of the individual voice groups
compete to win the Cleveland Medal first donated in the year 1923 by the
Cleveland Manx society. This first performance of the Manx National Anthem
occurred at the Guild in the year 1907, followed by Harry Wood’s group.
