Shennaghys Jiu is continuing today (Sunday) in the north and west of the Island.
The annual festival attracts musicians from across the Celtic nations, with this year's participants including Riobo from Galicia and Achrann from Ireland, along with numerous Manx performers.

Today there's an 'unplugged' session at St John's Church at 2.30pm, and a Ceilidh at the Masonic Hall in Ramsey at 8.30pm.
