The familiar voice of Manx Radio’s The Folk Show for over 30 years, a superbly talented and larger than life musician, singer and dancer, and a quiet scholar of folk song, John Kaneen is the very worthy recipient of the 2019 RBV cultural award. 
The Isle of Man's highest cultural award is the "RBV" - the Reih Bleeaney Vanannan (Manannan's Choice of the Year) - which is given each year to the person or group who have made the most significant contribution to the culture of the Isle of Man. In 2019 it was awarded to John Kaneen at a small gathering in Douglas at which a number of short speeches were given.
