  • 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.

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.

  • Road Races Act 2015
    ROAD RACES BILL 2015 DEPARTMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE HIGHWAY SERVICES DIVISION Introduction This consultation is designed to invite comments on the Department of Infrastructure’s Road Racing Bill 2015. We welcome your views not only on the specific questions asked, but also on any other aspect of the proposed legislation. With over 100 years of history, road racing is an important part of Manx life. We are proud to be the Road Racing Capital of the World and a centre of road racing excellence. As well as being enjoyed and supported by people on the Isle of Man, road racing is also an important part of the Island’s economy. Thousands of visitors travel to the Island each year to both watch and take part in our motorcycling and rally events. Increasingly, these events are becoming road racing festivals. The courses and rally stages on the Island are known the world over and form part of what keeps the Isle of Man unique. Indirect benefits are not measured, but the worldwide recognition of events such as the TT should not be underestimated. It is important that we remain the centre of the road racing world, and that we protect our road racing heritage into the future by keeping it relevant to the modern world. The Road Races Act 1982 is the legislative instrument under which the Department of Infrastructure (referred to below simply as “DOI”) hands over part of the highway network to third party organisers of racing events. Inevitably, over the last 33 years the 1982 Act has become increasingly out of step with the need of the organisers of motor racing events and the public’s expectations about key safeguards.

A dedicated researcher into Manx folklore, folksong, and folk dance, as well as the fi gures and collectors involved with the Celtic revival, Stephen’s time, energy and expertise working on precious archives in the Manx Museum and beyond for over forty years have resulted in an extremely impressive body of work in the fi eld of Manx and Celtic Studies which he continues to share freely online, in print and in person. An early adopter of technology, Stephen’s work has been made available to others on his Chiollagh Books website, by monthly contribution of his research to the Kiaull Manninagh Jiu Manx Music and Dance Newsletter, within the Ballaugh Heritage Trust newsletter, as well as through his own publications and public talks. He remains someone determined to tease remarkable stories relating to Manx cultural and social history out of the archives in order to bring life to some of the key characters who have shaped our Island, to understand what their focus was in terms of collecting, recording or promoting Manx culture, and to share his fi ndings with other researchers. Stephen grew up in the Island, attending Douglas High School for Boys, and went on to gain a BA in History and an MA in Folk Life Studies from the University of Leeds.
