Claare ny Gael 26th January 2020

Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. We come to the end of James Chalenor's Short Treatise on the Isle of Man, written by him in 1653 and published in book form in 1656. The edition we've been looking at was edited by Rev J G Cumming and published by the Manx Society in 1864. After the bloodshed in Gowaltys ny Beiyn, the animals console themselves with a slow and mournful rendition of 'Beiyn Hostyn' - only to find out that it has now been banned. A new song written by the poet pig, Minimus, it to take its place. Meanwhile, the hard word continues.
