Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. We return to William Gell's 1906 poem, 'Mannin Veg Veen : A Poetical Sketch of the Isle of Man', and he takes us from Malew Church into Castletown for Canto IX 'The Rushen Epic'. Our story in Manx is full of violence and bloodshed (for comedy effect).
