about

Clare and Annie learnt the Song of the Blackbird from the singing of Mona Douglas when they were young.
It was collected from Tom Taggart, a fiddler and singer from Grenaby in the South of the Island around 1924 – Taggart apparently knew other bird songs and stories. A variant of the song entitled ‘Kione Jiarg’ had been published earlier in both A W Moore’s journal 'The Manx Note Book' (1885) and Sophia Morrison’s 'Manx Fairy Tales' (1911).
Annie and Clare have arranged the song as a duet, with the bird names echoing each other closely.

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