Amongst the pieces from 'Shiaght Laa', Maralyn Crellin tells us a little about the name of the village, Port Erin. We have an opportunity to play Kianglaghyn Kiaullee (Musical Connections) and Cre'n Vlein? (What's the Year?) with Daniel Quayle in 'Jamys Jeheiney'. As well as the voice of Phil Gawne in 'Goll as Gaccan', we hear Adrian Cain talking about a book he's just translated. Lucy Westenra's mother thinks that she was helping her daughter, but Professor Van Helsing is greatly concerned, and this extract from a translation into the Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker which is to be heard in 'Claare ny Gael'.
