There are two games for us in 'Jamys Jeheiney', as there's an opportunity for us to play Kianglaghyn Kiaullee (Musical Connections) and Cre'n Cheer? (What's the Country?). We hear several pieces in the Manx Gaelic in 'Goll as Gaccan', with Phil Gawne telling us about an event that was on, about the four season, he recites for us a verse from a traditional song, and he tells us about the way he's feeling. And in 'Claare ny Gael' we hear what the captain of the schooner, Demeter, wrote in the ship's log of the journey from Varna to Whitby in another extract from the translation into Manx Gaelic of Dracula by Bram Stoker.
