Shiaght Laa 16th May 2024
Shiaght Laa
Thursday, 16 May 2024 - 25 minutes
Fiona McArdle introduces an edition of Shiaght Laa in which -
we hear about some of the opportunities to enjoy events in the week ahead;
we hear of a new publication by Dr Peter Davey about 'Rushen Abbey : one hundred years of excavation';
we try to find out about why to the Manx people the 18th May was called Laa'l Spitlhin Souree; and
we look at the lyrics and hear the song, 'Baatey Pabyr', written by Matthew Warren and performed by Sarah Mercer and Mera Royle, which won Arrane son Mannin this year and represented the Island in the Pan Celtic International Song Competition, and of which a Ballagroove Studio recording by Gyp Buggane has just been published on Soundcloud Baatey Paybr (Paper Boats) - Gaelg by Matthew Warren (soundcloud.com).
