Lebiedzinski archives released online
The works of a modern Manx troubadour have been digitally re-released, in time for what would have been his 66th birthday.
Culture Vannin has made a collection of original recordings by Paul Lebiedzinski available online, with an accompanying short film by Samuel Hurt.
The son of a Polish airman, Lebiedzinski spent much of his life in his hometown of Ramsey - at one time serving as a town commissioner - before his untimely death in 1995.
He'll be best remembered for his poignant poems, covering subjects from Island life to international political affairs.
Here's an excerpt from Thatching Down South:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
