about

A song inspired by the life of one of the Isle of Man’s most important cultural icons, Mona Douglas.

Composed by Dave Mclean, he writes:
"The words are another poem from Mona's 1915 collection, 'Manx Song and Maiden Song.' I really liked the first half of the last verse, so I took the liberty of using it as the chorus. I remember Cardle Voar from travelling on the bus from Laxey to Ramsey as a lad. I loved the whole Manx Electric Railway from the Dhoon to Ramsey on which I worked as a conductor. The job gave me plenty of tume to watch the countryside slowly passing and the poem beautifully descries the views I saw and enjoyed so often."

This song was first released as a part of 'Mona's Isle: The Legacy of Mona Douglas' in 2017.
