about

Douglas Fargher, Brian Stowell and George Broderick wrote Manx words about the voyage of King Orry (Godred Crovan) from Islay to the Isle of Man around 1079.
Set to a Hebridean tune, the last verse refers to ‘Raad Mooar Ghorree’ – a wonderfully poetical descriptive Manx term for the Milky Way – used by Orry to navigate his way to the Island.

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