Claare Ny Gael - Manx Radio

After looking at a collection of nicknames used in the parish of Ballaugh from about 1860 to 1900, collected by Mr J B Keig in 1933, we go back to the work of A W Moore, printed in 1890, and first dealing generally with the theme of nicknames, but then coming on to examples from the Island. In our translation of Dracula into the Manx Gaelic, the party of friends are about to go to search Carfax, the house bought by Count Dracula in Essex, and we hear about it through the journal of Jonathan Harker, who was involved in selling the house to the Count, including travelling to Transylvania and suffering torments in Castle Dracula.  'Sy chiaull ain ta shin jannoo ard-eailley jeh Laa'l Andreays - CAPERCAILLIE - Barra clapping song ALEX CAMPBELL - Mormond Braes HAMISH NAPIER - The mayfly CHRISTINE PRIMROSE - Bean a' chotain ruaidh HAMISH IMLACH - The Calton weaver CALLUM STEWART - Looking at a rainbow through a dirty window WILL FYFFE - I belong to Glasgow LUGHT-EAISHTEE AN MOD - Suas leis a Ghaid
