Guests today are Ruth Keggin-Gell and Gareth Moore talking about the peaceful Taize style of worship - with an invitation to join Ruth to learn some beautiful prayerful chants translated into the Manx language, then go to a service in Ballagarey led by Gareth - and sing what you have learned!A visit to newly re-opened St Catherine's Church in Port Erin gives Vicar of the parish of Rushen, Canon Joe Heaton, a chance to talk about the completion of the re-ordering of the 4 churches in his parish - and what they can now offer to their congregations and to the local community.Plus - there's music for the Feast of the Epiphany, and a New Year Carol - as well as another well-filled notice board.

William Gell's 1906 poem, Mannin Veg Veen, has brought us to Port Erin, and here we pause to look at the work of a frequent visitor to the Island, and particularly to Port Erin, the writer Arnold Bennett. We then compare what he has to say about the view from Bradda with what William Gell writes, but Gell bustles us up the coast to St Patrick's Isle.We conclude the Manx translation of the story by the Brothers Grimm about the band of six, of whom five are men of extraordinary specialist traits, and they're led by a disgruntled soldier, discharged from the army after sterling service, who's determined that the king will pay over all his treasures before he's done with him. The next story is about a greedy but crafty cook called Grethel.As y kiaull ain 'syn earroo shoh jeh'n chlaare -CLASH VOOAR - Kione SpaineyPISKEY LED - Come all good Cornish boysDAMIEN MULLANE - EvokeBENDITH - Can am gariadJANICE BURNS & JON DORAN - Up an' awa'ZONK - HuanadCAARJYN COOIDJAGH - Manannan Beg balladANNIE BAYLIS - Karten bostBOYS OF THE LOUGH - A midwinter waltz/Bridgie Con Mat's/ The lakes of Sligo/Thadelo's polka

From the Calf, William Gell's attention switches to the Chickens in his 1906 poetic tour of the Island, Mannin Veg Veen. Going round to Port Erin, we look at William Milner's association with it, including the tower on Bradda Head. Though Gell doesn't mention him, we also look at Arnold Bennett, who set a chapter of his 1902 novel, Anna of the Five Towns, in Port Erin, and that was by no means the only work of his set in the village.In a translation into Manx, we're looking at the rather odd tales of the Brothers Grimm, and a disgruntled discharged soldier has collected a motley crew of five people with extraordinary gifts. A king has offered his daughter in marriage to anyone who can beat her in a race, and our ex-soldier puts up one of the band - but if he loses, they both lose their heads!Shoh yn kiaull t'ain y cheayrt shoh -DIAOULEZ AR MENEZ - La quadrature du rondCHRISTINE BREGAZZI - A sea visionMIKE O'CONNOR - The Zeak waltzALTAN - Ma theann tu 'un aonaighCILMERI - CilmeriANNA MURRAY - Traditional wedding reelMONA KERYS - An durzunellMATT CREER - Ny boallyn shohMIKE O'CONNOR - Come to Good

On today's programme we tell the story of the new Port Erin Methodist church - from plans that began 8 years ago, to the official opening ceremony yesterday morning. It's next to - but separate from - the 1903 church building on Station Road, and incorporates the hall and Sunday Schoolrooms added to the 1903 church in 1973.But what we have now is a beautiful chapel, a fine refurbished hall and other facilities that make this new development into a hub to be shared and be of benefit to the local community.Contributors to the programme include Rev Dr Sean Turner, Mrs Judy Matthews, Mr Keith McArd, Mrs Muriel Nixon and Mrs Jean Karran.The hymns are those used in the opening thanksgiving service.And there's notice board news too - notice board items can be emailed - judithley@manxradio.com

...and much more!It's your daily round-up of news on and from the Isle of Man, plus travel, business and weather.

The assisted dying Bill is due to be read a third time tomorrow in an extra Keys sitting and Agenda asks what's the rush. We also ponder whether Tynwald and government are capable of delivering a bus station in Douglas, why developers need support to build luxury flats in Port Erin and why Tynwald rejected the opportunity to save money by allowing private member's Bills to appear on the government consultation website. If you are struggling to understand government's spending priorities then this week's Agenda may well be able to help - mind you it might not and all.

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?

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.

Fiona McArdle introduces the final programme in this series. We start with a reminder of Ruth Keggin Gell's workshops on Taizé chants (with an explanation of their background) and on Manx for worship on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th January. Later on we hear Ruth herself reminding us of Culture Vannin's Manx lessons on Zoom each Wednesday from 17th January. Will Price of Port Erin has set up Amity Publications Ltd and has just published a bilingual edition of The Amazing Adventures of Tom and Charlie / Ny Contoyrtyssyn Yindyssagh ec Tom as Charlie. He explains how the book came about, with the Manx translation by Chris Sheard and illustrations by Grainney Sheard. Fiona McArdle herself was instrumental in setting up Arrane son Mannin in 2005, a competition to choose a song in the Manx language to represent the Island in a song contest for songs in the Celtic languages of each of the Celtic nations taking part in the Pan Celtic Festival in Ireland. This year's Arrane son Mannin is on Friday 12th January.

101-year-old Port Erin resident James Fenton was a Bombardier with 178 Field Regiment of the Royal Artillery during WWII. At the age of 20, he was sent to fight in the steamy jungles of Burma as part of the 14th Army, the so-called “Forgotten Army”. Listen now to James's incredible story in full, as part of Remembrance 2023. James recalls his exploits in Primary Training and thoughts on life when he was posted to the far east. From dealing with the hazards of malaria ridden mosquitos, snakes and scorpions to the daily onslaught of shelling by the Japanese army. James always had a passion for art and photography and recalls developing films whilst under a tarpaulin as the enemy sent wave after wave of mortars into his camp. After the war and a career in design, James moved to the Isle of Man to open the photographic museum in Port Erin.

Welcome back to another captivating episode of Island Influencers. This week, I have the pleasure of introducing you to the one and only John Keggin, Managing Director at Island Escapes Limited.    John's story takes us back to his upbringing within a family deeply woven into the fabric of Manx tourism. Imagine generations warmly welcoming guests to the picturesque The Tower Hotel in Port Erin.   From a young age, John had always wanted to own his own business and in 2018, his dreams came reality with Island Escapes. Drawing from a wealth of diverse experiences across marketing and operations, John paints an authentic picture of the highs and lows that come with forging your path as an entrepreneur. He bares his soul, revealing moments of utmost fulfillment and the challenges that tested his mettle. Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and the pandemic that swept the globe was a true test of resilience for many. John candidly shares his personal encounter with burnout, a consequence of navigating the storm as both a business owner and an individual.  John's a driving force propelling the Isle of Man's tourism to new heights. You won't want to miss the pearls of wisdom and stories that John Keggin unveils.

The jazz hamsters head south - and we don't mean Port Erin - to celebrate the best of Kiwi jazz in New Zealand. Sadly they won't be at the Wellington Jazz Fest this year . . .

Maralyn Crellin gives an overview of the second Port Erin Jazz Festival (7th & 8th October) and a visit by Yorkshire bluesman, Howlin' Mat, with concerts in Peel on Saturday 8th and Port Erin on Sunday 9th. The major part of the programme is given over to Brian King talking about he became involved in research about HMS Racehorse, which went down with loss of life, including three of the rescue party, in 1822. Brian researched historic documents and led an underwater team to plot and recover artefacts. His research work, including charts and photographs, is now published by Loaghtan Books in a timely book for the 200th anniversary of the loss of the vessel, simply called 'The Wreck of the Racehorse' and is available now at £14.95.

A major exhibition is currently under way in Port Erin to mark the 130th anniversary of Port Erin Marine Laboratory. The Marine Lab first opened on a site on Mortuary Beach, Port Erin, in 1892 and the The Winkle Pickers exhibition charts the story of the Laboratory from the opening of the original buildings, the move in 1902 to its well-known site on the south-west of Port Erin Bay, through to its closure in 2006. The title of the exhibition, The Winkle Pickers, refers to the nickname that many residents of Port Erin gave to those who worked and studied at the Laboratory. It was a great tragedy that such a well respected institute had to close in 2006 and good to hear from winkle pickers Peter Duncan, Andy Brand, and Jeremy Paul and Hugh Davidson from the Rushen Heritage Trust.

Travelling abroad this summer? Then make sure you're fully prepared and insured warns the government. Businesses in Port Erin call for more support encouraging tourists to spend more.

On today's programme, we explore the role of the Permanent Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church, in conversation with Graeme Easton, a parishioner of St Columba's church in Port Erin. On Saturday 23 July in St Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Hill Street, Douglas, Graeme will be ordained as a Permanent Deacon, by Bishop Tom Williams, an Auxiliary Bishop in the Archdiocese of Liverpool, of which the Catholic Churches on the Island form a part. Graeme talks about the selection process, his training, and his future role in Church life on the Island. Along the way, he dispels some of the misunderstandings about what a deacon is - and what he is not! There's a warm welcome for all to come to share in Graeme's ordination Mass on Saturday 23rd at 5pm - it's in St Mary's Catholic Church on Hill Street, Douglas and music will be provided by Rushen Silver Band. And if you're interested in learning more about becoming a Permanent Deacon, there's a MEN'S INFORMATION MORNING next Saturday, 23rd July, in St Anthony's Parochial Centre, Onchan from 11am to 1pm, when Director of the Permanent Diaconate, Canon Chris Fallon, and his team, will be making a presentation on the role of the deacon, and answering any questions. There's no need to reserve a place - just come along - and wives are most welcome too.

Our guest on Sheer Isolation this week has made it his mission to get the West's youngsters engaged with classical, opera and choir music. Adam Laughton is part of the team at the Wiltshire Music Centre in Bradford-on-Avon - a venue which showcases genres of music traditionally considered highbrow, while ensuring performances are fully inclusive, with workshops, events and rehearsal space to encourage teenagers to take up classical instruments and join youth orchestras and singing groups. On our playlist, Adam picks a live recording performance by Bristol's Fitzhardinge Consort. We also play a track from Wiltshire group, Port Erin, who are making a real-life appearance at this weekend's Bath Festival.

The opening of the steam railway line between Douglas and Port Erin was very much a case of will it/won't it, perhaps/perhaps not. We hear about the reasons for difficulties and delays before it eventually did open for public travel - without ceremony - on Saturday 1st August 1874. Sean O Bradaigh made a translation into Irish of one of Dora Broome's stories of Manx folklore.

On this episode we take a deep dive into how the first ‘closed area' of sea bed on the Island, and possibly Europe was set up. We speak to the man who was instrumental in setting up the Port Erin closed Area, including gradually winning over the Island's fishermen.

Pippa Lovell is an Award Winning Chef who created the restaurant Versa, (which you can usually find situated at Foraging Vintners in Port Erin). She is passionate about sustainability and serving produce as local as it can possibly get; her social media pages are packed full of the wonderful wild bounties that nature has to offer on the tiny Island and she is keen to share her knowledge - giving ideas about what to do with foraging finds and where to best source them. As Spring has well and truly sprung, the countryside is vibrant and bursting with bounty, so Christy asked Pippa to share some top tips on what wonders we can find on our daily walks right now and how we can use them in our kitchens. NB: Always pick and gather responsibly - don't take a lot of one item from the same place, don't uproot plants, never go on to private land without permission and of course, obey all relevant regulations regarding CoVid-19. Thank you - and have fun foraging!

The Island’s chief medical director explains why ‘flattening the curve’ is a must – we speak to a young person here with a mild case of COVID-19 who’s pleading with the fit and healthy to take the virus seriously. Graih outlines the challenges faced in helping the homeless self-isolated. And a Port Erin commissioner explains more about plans for the Cosy Nook.

Should Arbory, Rushen, Port Erin, Port St Mary, Malew and Castletown all join forces to create a new local authority? The idea’s been floated by a commissioner ahead of the local elections in April. On this episode of Agenda we speak to representatives of all five authorities to see what they think about the proposal.

Manx Radio's weekly programme looking at Manx life from a different angle, exploring the historical, social, linguistic and academic issues. Fiona McArdle introduces the programme as we hear about a book called 'Port Erin : Past and Present' published by Loaghtan Books, featuring postcards from the extensive collection of Ray Stanfield, who explains about his archive, with modern photographs by George Hobbes and explanatory text by Sara Goodwins, who tell us about their work on the book. Not far from Port Erin there was a traditional fair held at Bell Abbey in Colby to celebrate Shenn Laal Catreeney, and we hear a song associated with the event sung for us by Brian Mac Stoyll. This leads us on to visit the Culture Vannin headquarters in St John's for the launch of an autobiography by Brian Mac Stoyll entitled 'Gaelg as Fishig : Skeeal my Vea'. We hear from Yn Greinneyder, Culture Vannin's Manx Language Development Officer, Adrian Cain, and the amanuensis who helped prepare the book, Dr Wendy Mercer.

Pippa Lovell has opened a new pop up restaurant in Foraging Vintners in Port Erin called "Versa" ; as far as we're aware, it's the first time a true foraging ethic has been implemented and celebrated in a Manx restaurant. Pippa - who is also in the final shortlist to represent Britain with her foraged Manx dish in the 2019 San Pellegrino Young Chef of the World competition - is passionate about sustainability and responsible food sourcing and she herself sources most of the ingredients on her own menu from within walking distance of the restaurant. All other ingredients are at the very least locally sourced. Christy spent a wonderful evening learning all about the art of foraging with the young Chef, who is also determined to share her knowledge and love of the practice with all who care to listen.

Who should compensate businesses suffering from works along Douglas promenade? Onchan Commissioners are wary of major development under the Eastern Area Plan, and a play park revamp in Port Erin has come at an unfortunate time.

Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. William Gell takes us to a fish hatchery in Port Erin, introduces us to the Quayles of Crogga and William Christian of Ronaldsway (and takes a strangely dim view of Illiam Dhone, it must be said), calls in at King William's College and then remembers Sir James Gell. Although an Onchan man, William Gell spent some of his school days in Ballasalla, from where he attended Malew Church under the Rev William Gell. Our Manx story is a tale of greed overcome by hard technology.

Manx Radio's weekly programme looking at Manx life from a different angle, exploring the historical, social, linguistic and academic issues. The 45th Mananan Festival at the Erin Arts Centre in Port Erin provides a great opportunity to see leading artists in an intimate setting - and perhaps to provide inspiration for new ways to look at and present Manx culture. From the south to the north, where we join George Hobbs at Dreemskerry on the Manx Electric Railway for a conversation about tramway matters, arising from his recent publication for Loaghtan Books. 'Power, Poles & Platelaying : Keeping the MER on Track'. As well as hearing George, we hear several passing trams, including two who feature in Sara Goodwins' three Tales of the MER, now available on a CD. And finally, we look ahead briefly to a Culture Vannin film night on Thursday 27th June.

Glamping and a revamped Cosy Nook set for Port Erin, Great Meadow plans threaten heritage site, and why the TT access road isn't fit for purpose.

We were joined on Thursday 26th Oct by Janet Lees, Creative Writing Facilitator, along with Liz Atzori and Jayne Paton who are two of the women inspired to write by the Port Erin community arts project. All three agreed to stay behind after the programme to chat more about the wonderful initiative, to express what a difference it has made to their lives and to share some of their excellent work.
