Sharks arrive for TT Festival
Yup! It's true! Just in time for TT Festival 2006, Basking sharks have arrived near the Isle of Man! I've heard of hammer heads, but motor heads? There have been 25+ sightings of these creatures at the south end of the island, near Port Erin, Port St Mary and around the Calf of Man. They are harmless and kinda cute. Let us know if you spot them!

Swound!s like a great idea…
Yup! It's true, Swound! has announced two Isle of Man gigs during TT Practice Week. You've heard them on Radio 1 and on Rob Da Bank's show. Now you can see them for yourself and you'll luv luv luv them! Isle of Man brothers Joe, Rowan and Tom Staszkiewicz teamed up with two Nottingham friends, Alex Nichol & Will Young, about a year ago……….there's been no looking back. They've been warming up for a lot of the UK's top bands. They are sooooooooo good!
Check out Swound! on 1st June at The Cornerhouse and on 2nd June at Bushy's Basement Bar. If you can't wait till then, check out their blog where you listen to their latest tunes.
