After representing Wales at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, Manw has taken on a new project with a group of school friends. Their band SIORT ORA (meaning best sort or great mate) won a Battle of the Bands competition singing in the Welsh language for the island of Anglesey schools.

Manw said she is really enjoying being in a band and harmonising with her band mate, Louise. SIORT ORA only got together about two weeks ago. They have won a nice shield trophy and a cash prize of £500 sterling. They also have the opportunity to record at a local studio in Wales. The band will also play at two festivals.me

SIORT ORA now plan to record some songs (both original and covers) in Welsh.

Manw sang Perta for Wales in Minsk back in November 2018 and won a lot of respect for her performance and appearance with her dancers from Dawnswyr Anti Karen.

ESC Covers looks forward to hearing music from SIORT ORA in the near future. In the meantime check out Manw and her dancers in Belarus below.

Manw will represent Wales for the first time at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest on Sunday with the charming Perta.

Today she gave her second rehearsal with her team of dancers. It looked beautiful on the screen and on the stage. The show begins with a close up of Manw and the girl dancers. Then the performance flows beautifully with lovely choreography and a background of mountains and birds.

Manw looked very relaxed at the press conference. She is looking forward to being on the stage and she will give 100% and is proud to be the first Welsh representative. She also explained that she will continue to sing and would like to act. She enjoys drama at school. Manw also love to ski.
