I said to your administrator that I would post some music from my beloved HOMELAND and it has taken the time donated by the national virus emergency to free me up for this important task. Sorry MarionVille and the Isle of Man.

I learned this song from Northerners when at university In Durham. But to different words and music. Very odd. The Ellen Vannin was the name of a mail ship that went down in Liverpool bay in a frightful storm.
We just happened to have a folk music club meeting 100 years to the night December 3rd 1999 so it was a must to sing this song.

You have hit on the reason for the difference. Ellen Vannin - a Manx name for the island crops up everywhere . One video is the UNOFFICIAL anthem -sung by BEE GEES . There is an official one too -google it. The other is simply a folk song -plenty more of those still remebered on the island, Folk dance too. I love them all obviously but sadly negelected lately
Wow, that was an unexpected pleasure! Thank you, and welcome, @Mcflewster.

Better late than never has always been my motto! Hope you’re not feeling too much at a loose end already...I think our enforced isolation may last a while!
