Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man. -

Kiaull Manninagh Jiu 09/20 Culture Vannin Tickets for £10: Evening Concert/Film Local Bandlavakings Athomeinthe Camargue
wwwwww.m.maannxxmmuusisci.cc.ocmom K I A U L L M A N N I N A G H J I U M A N X M U S I C T O D A Y Mean Fouyir 2020 September MANX MUSIC TODAY New Manx music tutorial videos The first of a new collection of traditional music video tutorials has been launched by Culture Vannin. Part of the Treisht lockdown initiative (Manx Gaelic for ‘hope’), seven established musicians were invited to share their technical knowledge and create instruction films teaching a selection of Manx songs and tunes. As well as Gaelic songs for children and advanced singers, there are Manx tune tutorials for fiddle, whistle and harp. Whistle and flute player Peddyr Cubberley was one of the successful applicants. A renowned performer and composer, Peddyr plays with Mactullagh Vannin, the Peddyr Trad Trio, Croan y Tead, and he is also a founding member of the Tarroo Marroo Ceili Band. He is particularly well known for his tune “Kinnoull”, which has become an international hit performed at the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo. Peddyr said; “I would like to thank Culture Vannin for the opportunity to get involved in playing a further part in helping to keep our traditional Manx culture alive, and to help make it further available by way of the Treisht tutorials.” For his videos, he chose to firstly teach the beginners’ staple, “Smuggler’s Lullaby”, and his own composition, “Nelson’s Tonic”; a simple tune which has gained popularity in recent years after its inclusion on Barrule’s self-titled album. -
