Top quality talent from around the world will be performing at the Erin Arts Centre for the 41st Mananan Festival.

The event starts on Sunday with a sold-out performance by the hugely entertaining pianists Worbey and Farrell.

The music and arts festival runs daily until Thursday, July 2, with a variety of events including jazz, classical, Indian and Celtic music, floral art and silent film.

The line-up includes an evening with one of Britain’s best loved sopranos, Dame Felicity Lott, and Edward Seckerson on Monday.

A Celtic music night with Fraser Fitfield (low whistle, sax, border pipes, kaval and cajon) and Graeme Stephen (guitar) takes place on Thursday, June 25.

The duo are well-known in folk and jazz circles as musicians with a unique approach and distinctive sound.

Emma Johnson (clarinet), John Lenehan (piano) and Paul Clarvis (drums) present a jazz evening on Saturday, June 27.

Clarinet Goes To Town will explore ragtime, cakewalks, popular song, habanera and spirituals – not least the music of the king of swing, Benny Goodman.

EAC patron Julius Drake will introduce German baritone Ben Appl in a celebrity song recital on Tuesday, June 30. The recital will be recorded by BBC Radio 3 for future transmission.

Red Priest will take the audience on a whirlwind tour of Handel with ‘Handel in the Wind’ on Wednesday, July 1. The foursome are described as ‘outrageous yet compulsive’ with a ‘red-hot wicked sense of humour’.

Soumik Datta and Shahbaz Hussain return to the EAC for an evening of Sarod and Indian classical music on July 2. Soumik’s latest album, ‘Anti-Hero’, explores an area between Radiohead, Pink Floyd and Indian classical music.

The box office is open 10.30am to 4.30pm. Visit in person or call 832662.
