Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. William Gell's 1906 poem, 'Mannin Veg Veen : A Poetical Sketch of the Isle of Man' has brought us back to the crescent of Douglas Bay. William Gell waxes poetic about Sir William Hillary, and waxes wroth about the absence of a suitable memorial to him - something about which he mounted a campaign at the time, and which has been rectified by a number of memorials to Sir William which can be seen today. In our Manx story, a young warrior laments the merciless killer his father made him.
