| To define Manx music is like trying to any music associated with a nation or locality. Just like the term 'Manx', it means something slightly different to us all, and these meanings don't remain static. To some it is a feeling, a knowledge, a blood line, a language, a birthright or just an attitude. For the purposes of this website and database, it has been decided to define the term Manx Music in the widest possible manner. | |||||||||
| Manx music, then, is anything written on the Isle of Man, about the Isle of Man, by Manx people, for Manx people, for a Manx based occasion or by someone heavily involved with the Isle of Man. As the user, you have the flexibility to decide whether you would consider an item 'Manx' or not, as the catalogue has not been straitjacketed by rigid criteria of what is or is not 'Manx'. | |||||||||
