First we hear Daniel Quayle and the bits of chat in 'Kiaull as Cooish', and then we hear 'Claare ny Gael', with another part of a story translated into the Manx from the Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm.

On 5th May 1830 Thomas Edward Brown was born in New Bond Street, Douglas. Dollin Kelly's one-man tour de force performance of T E Brown's poem, 'Betsy Lee', which he took to the Edinburgh Festival, was recorded by Charles Guard for the Manx Heritage Foundation in 1992. That is now available on the Culture Vannin website. We hear Dollin Kelly and the opening section of 'Betsy Lee'. A locksmith has just opened the door of the house in Piccadilly bought by Count Dracula and the party assembles to search the house for boxes of Transylvanian soil and for any further clues they can find. Another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of the famous book by Bram Stoker.

From the 1965 collection, 'More Poems of Man', we have pieces by Margery Robinson and David Marno, and even find one we missed by main author, Barbara Cowley, the sister of Margery and mother of David. The friends are about to leave Mina Harker as they go to Carfax, the adjacent house owned by Count Dracula, to make his daytime lairs of Transylvanian soil unusable by him, before going on to another house he's bought in Piccadilly to do the same and look for clues.

'Shiaght Laa' is being presented by Fiona McArdle, but she's not alone. Phil Gawne and Owen Williams talk together about the music in 'Kiaull as Cooish', and whilst we don't hear the music, we hear what they have to say. Phil Gawne is with Simon Clarke for 'Goll as Gaccan' and Phil tells us the second part of a story. It's part of a story that's to be heard in 'Claare ny Gael' as well, with another part from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker.

'Shiaght Laa' is to be heard again with the start of a new series, so we begin with the pieces in the Manx Gaelic from that programme. Daniel Quayle is in the studio to present 'Kiaull as Cooish' and he's not alone. We hear the cooishes between him and his friend. In 'Goll as Gaccan' Phil Gawne tells Simon Clarke that he intends to do again as he was doing earlier in the year, and that's reading out part of a story in the Manx Gaelic. There's another episode for us from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker, and we're looking at that in 'Claare ny Gael'.

We again dip into the 1965 collection of 'More Poems of Man', in which we finish off the poems written by Barbara Cowley of Peel and hear one written by her son, David Marno. Professor Van Helsing has been saying that he himself, together with Dr John Seward and Jonathan Harker, will stay at Count Dracula's house in Picadilly whilst Lord Godalming and Quincey Morris go to search out and destroy the Count's lairs elsewhere in London. More from our translation into the Manx Gaelic of the famous book by Bram Stoker.

We're dipping into a booklet published in 1965 and called 'More Poems of Man', a collection of poems by Barbara Cowley of Peel, with other poems by her son and her sister. There must have been an earlier 'Poems of Man', but whilst that's not to hand, there are other poems which appear in the Peel City Guardian, so it's likely that they made up the earlier collection. In our translation of Bram Stoker's Dracula into the Manx Gaelic, Jonathan Harker is getting agitated about wasting time, but Professor Van Helsing explains the difficulty about breaking into a house in Picadilly but suggests how they'd best handle it in a positive way.

There are only two programmes for us this time. We begin with 'Kiaull as Cooish' but Daniel Quayle didn't have the opportunity to present the programme. For all that we still have the cooishyn from that programme. There wasn't a particular piece in the Manx Gaelic in 'Goll as Gaccan' this time, so we go ahead directly to 'Claare ny Gael' and another episode from a translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker.

We hear of Dorothy Wordsworth's final week in the Island before she leaves at 11.50pm on 19th July 1828 to sail back overnight to Whitehaven. She seems to have been fortunate with the weather during her walking tour, but these last few days bring quite a lot of rain. However, she does prevail upon Joanna Hutchinson to see a doctor. An attendant in Dr John Seward's asylum thought he'd heard two voices in the room of the patient, Renfield, but when he'd gone into the room there was only Renfield, lying crumpled on the floor, dead. What could Dr Seward and his comrades possibly tell an inquest about the role of Count Dracula in Renfield's death? Another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's novel.

Daniel Quayle is back with more chat, mainly about the music in his programme, 'Kiaull as Cooish' - we hear the cooish but not the kiaull! In 'Goll as Gaccan', Phil Gawne introduces us to the traditional words of a song in the Manx Gaelic and we hear Betty Condon with a winning performance, reciting the words for one of the classes of Aundyryn Kiaull-Theay Vannin (the Manx Folk Awards). 'Claare ny Gael' brings us another episode from the on-going translation into Manx of Bram Stoker's well-known novel, Dracula.

Dorothy Wordsworth returns from Ramsey to Douglas on a carrier's cart. En route she enters a clean but poor cottage in Laxey and is not impressed with the superficial sanctity of a fellow passenger, a young Methodist preacher. Back in Douglas she meets up with Henry Hutchinson and Willy Wordsworth again, and some friends, Mr and Mrs Putnam. Mina Harker is describing the dreadful events when she suddenly finds standing at her bedside a tall, thin man clothed all in black who seems to have emerged from the thin white mist in her room.

'Kiaull as Cooish' with Daniel Quayle wasn't to be heard on Good Friday, so we begin with Phil Gawne who presents 'Goll as Gaccan' with Simon Clarke. As well as Phil we hear two children, Pip Holtby and Oliver Davies, in the programme as well. There's another part for us of the story Dracula by Bram Stoker in a translation into the Manx Gaelic from 'Claare ny Gael'.

A short week as it was, as you'll hear. But we hear the chatty bits Daniel Quayle had in his programme, 'Kiaull as Cooish', and we hear another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker, which is to be heard in 'Claare ny Gael'.

After spending the night in an attractive cottage at Ballure, Dorothy Wordsworth enjoys the pleasant setting once more before setting out with Henry Hutchinson and Willy Wordsworth for Maughold. There she leaves them to make their way back to Douglas whilst she returns to Ramsey. Dr John Seward has explained all that happened to Jonathan Harker, whose wife, Mina, has become a victim of Count Dracula. We also hear of how Arthur Holmwood (Lord Godalming) and Quincey Morris got on in pursuit of the Count. Another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's story, Dracula.

Dorothy Wordsworth's walking tour of the Island in July 1828 has brought her to a cottage at the foot of Ballure Glen, where the hosts are Mrs Brew and Miss Trivett. After a walk out to Maughold, she returns to Ramsey. Professor Van Helsing and his friends have broken into the room ofJonathan and Mina Harker - only to find Mina in the fierce clutch of Count Dracula as he forces her down onto Jonathan's chest to suck his blood.

We left Dorothy Wordsworth, Henry Hutchinson and Willy Wordsworth walking under the trees planted by Bishop Thomas Wilson at Bishopscourt after visiting the good bishop's grave at Kirk Michael. It's onwards north again now as they make a walking tour in July 1828. In our translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dr John Seward's patient, Renfield, has been badly injured. He realises he's dying, but he's got something very important to tell the doctor and his companions, which leads to an awful discovery.

Tuesday 8th July 1828 had been a tiring day's walk for Dorothy Wordsworth from Castletown to Port St Mary, over the Meayll to Port Erin, then up over Cronk ny Arrey Laa and down through Dalby to Peel. However, she's now up and ready for the next day. Professor Van Helsing is waiting for the right time to do a trepanning operation on the skull of the patient, Renfield, who's suffered injuries. Will he survive and recover to tell them what happened? Another episode from Bram Stoker's Dracula in a translation into the Manx Gaelic. As nyn giaull - ADIEMUS, cond.

We're joining Dorothy Wordsworth in July 1828 as she makes a walking tour which has taken her to Castletown, then on the next day to Port St Mary and Port Erin. Now she's about to climb up and over to Peel, through Dalby and Glen Maye. In an episode from Bram Stoker's Dracula in a translation into the Manx Gaelic, an attendant in the asylum run by Dr John Seward has just burst in to tell him that his patient, Renfield, has suffered an accident. Later, tension mounts as Professor Van Helsing awaits the right moment to operate - but will it be too late?

Although we don't hear anything normally from 'Traa dy Liooar' in this podcast, that programme is a co-production between the BBC and Manx Radio on Monday afternoon between 5.00pm and 6.00pm on Manx Radio AM1368. We begin with another programme which is a co-production between the BBC and Manx Radio, 'Kiaull as Cooish' with Daniel Quayle. It's Simon Clarke and Phil Gawne who present 'Goll as Gaccan' on Sunday afternoon, and we hear the end of a story on which Phil began a few weeks ago. It'll need more time before we reach the end of our story which is to be heard in a translation into the Manx Gaelic in 'Claare ny Gael', but we've done about 70% of Dracula by Bram Stoker now.

Dorothy Wordsworth is out walking again during her visit to the Island of 1828, and we hear her description of the gardens around the Duke of Atholl's Castle Mona before she undertakes a walk from Douglas to Castletown and then to Port St Mary and Port Erin. In our translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dr John Seward forms the suspicion that Count Dracula has somehow visited his asylum patient, Renfield, to hatch some further diabolic scheme. Lord Godalming receives a fawning letter from the estate agents who have sold the Count a house in Picadilly.

In 'Goll as Gaccan' with Simon Clarke and Phil Gawne, Phil reads out another part of the story of Shenn Nance as y Buggane (Old Nance and the Buggane). There's another extract for us from a story in 'Claare ny Gael', with another episode from Dracula by Bram Stoker in a translation into the Manx Gaelic.

Dorothy Wordsworth continues describing what she sees on her walks in and around the Douglas area and the people she meets as she stays with Joanna and Henry Hutchinson on the South Quay in Douglas. Her nephew, poet William Wordsworth's youngest son, Willy, is also staying there this summer of 1828. Dr John Seward's asylum patient, Renfield, is causing some interest and concern again. Dr Seward tries to get further information from him. He talks of 'eating' but can't bring himself to mention 'drinking'. Dr Seward wonders about the reason, in this episode from our translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Phil Gawne and Simon Clarke present 'Goll as Gaccan' and we hear about two topics and part of a story in the programme this time. In 'Claare ny Gael' we hear another episode from Dracula by Bram Stoker in a translation into the Manx Gaelic.

Daniel Quayle is here again to present 'Kiaull as Cooish', and we hear his bits of chat, that are about the music and the musicians for the most part, but we don't hear what they're doing, for all that. Phil Gawne reads out the second part of a story about the 'fairies' (sorry about that!) from the Isle of Man for us in 'Goll as Gaccan', and in 'Claare ny Gael' there's another extract from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker.

After seeing Rev Robert Brown conducting a service at St Matthew's, Dorothy Wordsworth now goes to call on him and his family. As well as her account of their home, we also hear from a famous son of the family, Hugh Stowell Brown, as he recalls the house in New Bond Street in Douglas. In our translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula, Jonathan Harker returns to Purfleet. He finds his wife, Mina, rather pale. She is now to be kept out of the matter, but all try to make act normally before Jonathan explains what he has found out. Dr John Seward is perplexed about his patient, Renfield again.

Dorothy Wordsworth has come to the Island in 1828 and is staying on the South Quay. She goes to church services on Sunday morning and enjoys walks and socialising, including going to visit the family of the Rev Robert Brown. Robert Brown had sent a volume of his poetry to Dorothy's brother, the poet William Wordsworth. Jonathan Harker is on the trail of boxes of Transylvanian earth, consigned by Count Dracula to a house in Picadilly. He finds the house from the description and tries to find out who has recently sold it to the Count, in hope of getting access to it.

And from St Bridget to Count Dracula, as we hear another extract from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of that famous book in 'Claare ny Gael'.

Dorothy Wordsworth, sister of the poet, William, kept a diary of her visit to the Island in 1828, when she stayed with Henry and Joanna Hutchinson on the South Quay in Douglas. They were brother and sister to William Wordsworth's wife, Mary. The Wordsworths also had friends in the Island, including Rev Robert Brown, father of Manx poet, T E Brown. Jonathan Harker is trying to track down boxes of Transylvanian soil that Count Dracula has had taken from his house in Purfleet, Essex, to addresses in London. Meanwhile he notes that his wife, Mina, is looking pale. As y kiaull ain - SEAN O SE - Do bhi bean uasal/Carrickfergus SIDAN - Di enw NATIONAL FOLK DANCE ORCHESTRA, Cond.

J J Kneen's chapter on nicknames in his 1937 'Personal Names of the Isle of Man' reprinted almost verbatim what A W Moore had written in his 1890 'Surnames and Place-Names of the Isle of Man', but with some additions and alternatives. We look at those additions and alternatives. We hear that Mina Harker had a disturbed time whilst the search party was next door searching the house, Carfax, for Count Dracula's boxes of Transylvanian earth. Subsequently, she feels strangely tired and unsure about sleep and what she seems to see in her dreams.

The final programme in this series of 'Shiaght Laa' is presented by Fiona McArdle. In 'Kiaull as Cooish' once again we hear the topics Daniel Quayle is talking about, but not the music itself. Phil Gawne gives us the first verse of an unusual version of a Manx traditional song collected by Sophia Morrison from Elizabeth Crone, and then we hear the second part of a story by Dora Broome translated into the Manx Gaelic by Brian Mac Stoyll. This is from 'Goll as Gaccan' which Phil presents with Simon Clarke. We finish with 'Claare ny Gael' and another part from a translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker.

There are pieces in the Manx Gaelic from four programmes for us this time: first of all it's 'Shiaght Laa'; Daniel Quayle presents 'Kiaull as Cooish'; Phil Gawne is reading out the first part of a story for us in 'Goll as Gaccan'; and there's another part from Dracula by Bram Stoker in translation into the Manx Gaelic to be heard from 'Claare ny Gael'. 

Having started with J B Keig's nicknames in Ballaugh, we've moved on to A W Moore's thoughts on nicknames throughout the Island. As we find out, that work from 1890 was the framework for what J J Kneen had to say about nicknames in his book from 1937. In our translation of Bram Stoker's Dracula into the Manx Gaelic, Professor Van Helsing has been given short shrift by the patient, Mr Renfield, and so goes instead to talk to Mina Harker. However, we hear from her diary that she's putting on a brave face whilst strangely affected in some way.

Daniel Quayle presents 'Kiaull as Cooish' for us, and then we hear more sayings associated with the season from Phil Gawne in 'Goll as Gaccan'. 'Claare ny Gael' brings another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker.

A W Moore is perhaps getting a bit enthusiastic in researching the parish registers for nicknames, as he seems to want to include descriptions that have been added to give a little extra information about people mentioned. However, we do come on to ways of naming people as well at a time when surnames and forenames were quite often similar. In our episode from Bram Stoker's Dracula in a Manx translation, Jonathan Harker returns to the room where he and his wife Mina are sleeping, determined not to mention the work to combat Count Dracula. Mina seems strangely pale and sleepy. Meanwhile, Professor Van Helsing decides to go and talk further with the patient, Renfield, to try to find out about his eating live creatures.

Our guide in 'Shiaght Laa' this week is Maralyn Crellin, we hear Daniel Quayle talking about music and musicians in 'Kiaull as Cooish', and there's another extract for us from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker that we're listening to in 'Claare ny Gael'.

We've started looking at A W Moore's 1890 publication, 'The Surnames and Place-Names of the Isle of Man' for its section on nicknames, taking up where we left off with our survey of the nicknames used in Ballaugh collected by J B Keig. In our episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula, we're hearing from Jonathan Harker's journal about the expedition to search Carfax, the house bought by Count Dracula in Essex, and where 50 boxes of Transylvanian soil arrived - one of them bearing the Count himself! But how many are left in the house?

Maralyn Crellin introduces a programme in which James Franklin, the Online and Educational Resource Officer of Culture Vannin, tells us about a new publication, 'A Guide to the Folklore Sites of the Isle of Man', the result of a five-year project between Katie Newton, Sam Hudson and himself. Margaid Bird is a founder-member of Ramsey-based Manx Gaelic choir, Cliogaree Twoaie, and she takes us back to the early days and some of the many highlights since then, as they prepare a third album. We also look ahead to one of the opportunities to sing traditional Manx Gaelic songs, to be presented by Yn Greinneyder, Culture Vannin's Manx Language Development Officer, Ruth Keggin Gell. It's not till Saturday 13th January 2024, but it would be as well to contact Ruth and book a place now.

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.

Ta Phil Gawne cur-lesh dooin caghlaa dy veeryn ayns 'Goll as Gaccan', as eisht ayns 'Claare ny Gael' ta episode elley ain ass yn chyndaays 'sy Ghaelg jeh Dracula liorish Bram Stoker.   We hear pieces in the Manx Gaelic from not one, but from two editions of 'Shiaght Laa', before Daniel Quayle presents 'Kiaull as Cooish', of which we hear the cooish but not the kiaull. Phil Gawne brings us a variety of pieces in 'Goll as Gaccan', and then in 'Claare ny Gael' we have another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker.

We come to the end of the booklet by Mr J B Keig with his collection of nicknames used in Ballaugh parish in the period 1860 to 1900. It concludes with a postscript by Mr Keig, giving us a fascinating glimpse of the personalities of some of the people he mentions. In our translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dr John Seward's patient, Renfield, emotively pleads his case for immediate release because he's now perfectly sane and completely in earnest. The rest of the party are bemused and confused, and even Dr Seward isn't sure.

In 1933 Mr J B Keig published a booklet of nicknames used in Ballaugh to distinguish between so many people who had similar surnames (though probably unrelated) and forenames. It provides an interesting social history of the parish in the period from 1860 to 1900. In our Manx translation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dr John Seward has been summoned by an urgent need for his patient, Renfield, to talk to him. Having read the transcript of Dr Seward's diary, three of his companions accompany him to talk to Renfield - Professor Van Helsing, Arthur Holmwood (Lord Godalming) and Quincey Morris.

J B Keig published a booklet in 1933 of nicknames used by the inhabitants of Ballaugh between 1860 and 1900, when there were unrelated families with the same surname and forenames were often of a small range, so people were identified individually, often in relation to their father and grandfathers. In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Professor Van Helsing is explaining the history of Count Dracula to the friends who have come together to try to hunt him out and, if possible, to destroy him.

We've looked at a Forward that was added by Charles Craine and Mark Braide to a booklet that was republished in 1940 about Nick Names of Ballaugh, and we've also looked at the original Preface by J B Keig when the booklet was published in 1933. We now move on to the text, though it's not really a text as such. In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Professor Van Helsing has returned from Amsterdam, intending to stay now whilst he and his friend, Dr John Seward, are joined by Mina and Jonathan Harker and Arthur Holmwood and Quincey Morris in hunting down and destroying Count Dracula.

We hear Ruth Keggin Gell talking about her visit to the Celtic Colours festival with Rachel Hair and about a CBS television programme she was involved in, and these were recorded for 'Traa dy Liooar'. Daniel Quayle talks about the performers and the music whom we don't actually hear in 'Kiaull as Cooish', and in 'Goll as Gaccan' Phil Gawne takes us through another song composed for use by Mooinjer Veggey. 'Claare ny Gael' brings us another episode from the translation in the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

We hear the Forward added to a small booklet in 1940 by two fine Manx speakers, Chalse y Craine and Markys y Braide, and then we hear the Preface by Mr J B Keig to his original 1933 publication of 'Ballaugh Nick Names', but the nick names take us back to the 1860s. Professor Van Helsing has returned from Amsterdam and now intends to devote time to tracking down and destroying Count Dracula. However, he thinks this is no work for a woman - although Mina Harker has been at the centre of things and has helped enormously in collating all their information.
