Claare Ny Gael

Sunday, 29 March 2020 - 52 minutes

Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. At this time of year in the nineteenth century, the Manx fishing fleet made ready and sailed en masse to the three-month Kinsale mackerel fishery (returning in June). We hear about it in rhyme from Ambrose Maddrell, who first went as a 12 year old cook on a nickey. We also hear John Quilliam reciting Ambrose Maddrell's poem about his time on the Port le Moirrey schooners. Over the years on Gowaltys ny Beiyn the pigs are growing fatter and the dogs are well-fed, but the others are hungry, cold and hard-worked. They're still proud to be members of Gowaltys ny Beiyn - but then they receive a dreadful shock.
