about

A song in praise of the herring composed by Rev John Cannell, vicar of Conchan (1798-1810).
The herring fishing was a vital industry to the Manx during the 18th and 19th centuries in particular.
The song talks warmly of the community surrounding what was a dangerous profession and asks that there be plenty of herring in Mannin for ever.

This was originally released as a CD in 2012 by Culture Vannin
