Jordanne Kennaugh has been announced as the island’s new Bard.
She was named as the 10th Manx Bard at an inauguration event in Colby.
Jordanne replaces Boakesey who has served as Bard for the last year.
As part of her role, Jordanne will write poems for key events throughout the Manx calendar, such as Tynwald.
Each year the Island’s most worthy poet is appointed as Manx Bard via an annual competition. In recognition of the island’s proud poetic heritage, the title of First Manx Bard was awarded posthumously in 2014 to T.E. Brown.
