The modern 5th July is old-style midsummer, a fire festival associated with Manannan Mac Lir. We celebrate him and his kingdom of Man in music. There's more from William Gell's 1906 poem about the Island, and from Grimm's Fairy Tales in a translation into Manx.

Quite a few talking points arising from William Gell's 1906 poem, Mannin Veg Veen, whilst the well-known tale of Hansel and Grethel is heard in a Manx translation. Music throughout from the Celtic nations.

William Gell leads the way from Kirk Michael, down through Glen Helen and round to Crosby in his 1906 poem, Mannin Veg Veen. In a Manx translation, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm tell their strange tales. Running throughout, a thread of music from the Celtic nations.

A translation into Manx of stories from the Brothers Grimm is interwoven with more from the 1906 poem by William Gell, Mannin Veg Veen, the dear little Isle of Man. In between is music from the six Celtic nations : Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales.

With a leavening of music from the Celtic nations, Claare ny Gael explores the north of the Island with William Gell's 1906 poem, Mannin Veg Veen, and, in a translation into Manx, enters the sometimes - in fact, often! - very odd world of Grimm's fairy tales.

William Gell writes of the arrival of Godred Crovan and the battle of Skyhill, and of a new industry for Ramsey, and there's more from Grimm's fairy tales in Manx, whilst there's a seasoning of music from the Celtic nations sprinkled throughout.

After admiring a giant fuchsia at Ballure, the industrial history of Ramsey becomes the focus of William Gell's interest in his 1906 poem, Mannin Veg Veen. Grimm's fairy tales include one about Rapunzel, who was named after a salad vegetable, and that story is here translated into Manx. There's also music from across the Celtic nations.

In Maughold and Ramsey with William Gell, led by his 1906 poem, Mannin Veg Veen, there's some Hall Caine, Royal Ramsey, and the dashed hope of a Lieutenant-Governor. The Manx translation of Grimm's Fairy Tales again leads into strange goings on. Nothing strange about the music, though, with a selection from sounds from the Celtic nations.
