Unlocking our Sound Heritage

The charity responsible for the Isle of Man's natural and cultural heritage brings us the latest in their Autumn series of programmes.  This week, something a little different, as Nicola Tooms takes us on a journey through the Manx Language archive. You don't have to be a Manx speaker to enjoy the episode though, as there are recordings about Manx in English, including wonderful stories of how the Gaelg speakers were recorded in the first place. Visit www.imuseum.im and click on Unlocking Our Sound Heritage to listen to these and many more sound recordings from the Manx National Heritage Sound Archive.  To find out more about the charity visit the Manx National Heritage website, or join them on Facebook.

The charity responsible for the Isle of Man's natural and cultural heritage brings us a new series of programmes, on the topical theme this week of 'Harvest and Farming'. With tales of unruly farm animals, the hard graft involved in working the land and how harvest is celebrated.

The charity responsible for the Isle of Man's natural and cultural heritage brings us another fabulous programme, this time celebrating the Island's most internationally celebrated event - the TT Races.   We're used to hearing TT riders and racers speaking about the event, but in this programme, we'll hear the voices of people who work behind the scenes to make it all happen and some of the fans who visit the Island year after year to enjoy it.  Visit www.imuseum.im and click on Unlocking Our Sound Heritage to listen to these and many more sound recordings from the Manx National Heritage Sound Archive.  To find out more about the charity visit the Manx National Heritage website, or join them on Facebook.
