about

The traditional Manx song, Sea Invocation, performed by Meryl Drower and Charles Guard in c.1974.
This traditional Manx song, collected by Mona Douglas in Lonan, sung here in English, is a song of the sea sung by those sending well wishes to those out in its midst.

This comes from a collection of recordings made by Bernard Caine and others in around 1974, recorded by Charles Guard.
The recordings were not released at that time but they were recently rediscovered and they are released here as a posthumous memory of Bernard Caine RVB and the many things he did for Manx language, music and culture during his lifetime.

A video interview with Bernard Caine RBV (in Manx) can be found on the Learn Manx website: www.learnmanx.com/video_collection_79769.html
