La Colombe Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I could use a bit of that AC cash. Does anyone know what' Push Pineapple Shake The Tree' is in Manx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 You’d be better translating it into Arts Councilese than Manx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesVerneTheory Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hi All : the chart is about music featuring manx artists : the Varrick Frost track is sung by Alanna Lyes of Peel, and Ivan Ivanovich is the track title of a Jules Verne Theory record, which Is me currently sunning it up in Onchan. The list is inclusive of all genres, traditional, dance, electronic, folk etc. I dont know that many of the tracks are sponsored by the Arts council : the majority of the are payed for commercial by the Record labels that released them. Id forgotten to check back on this until I was listening to all the local music on Manx radio today (Tynwald Day) : I'll check back and answer any questions Best : Arron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I wonder if this might help? There's Manx blues, Manx jazz, Manx brass, it's nearly all encompassing. I'm surprised there's no Manx gamelan. Or a Manx Aborigine blowing down a didgeridoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised you haven’t encountered Manx Blues before, it’s practically mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Course it is. It's a style of music in which grumpy white men joylessly pretend they're from Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Stay Strong, La Colombe A Country Song I grew up overshadowed by damp quay Couldn't catch the eye of no city girl Here I am devoted to La Colombe How I love the way you look in your red jeans Can't believe I let the smog cloud my eye Where the damp quay stand And the fresh seaside surround I'll ride my broken truck with you by my side There's a whisper in the Peel breeze Reminding me of nan That whisper builds That whisper cries Nan in the morning skies You appear on the horizon Brushing that curly hair from your eyes The city folk with their fancy gadgets Cement quay like grey tombs Don't have nothin' on our way of life Just listen to the seagulls Don't live your life like a fool Today might feel a time to be like a fool But that ain't no way to lead a life You know, there's a lot I drive by in my broken truck Folk who is messing up Always stay Strong, La Colombe Always stay Strong In Peel, when I was a child I met a Strong man "How can you be so Strong?" asked I Here was his wise reply Don't live your life like a fool Today might feel a time to be like a fool But that ain't no way to lead a life Met an old lady who lived like a fool "What happened to her?" asked I Here was his wise reprise Don't live your life like a fool Today might feel a time to be like a fool But that ain't no way to lead a life That lady's gone now It's sad really Word is, she had curly hair once Little La Colombe, keep your jeans red Always stay Strong, La Colombe Always stay Strong Seagulls, seagulls, seagulls Seagulls, seagulls, seagulls...

La Colombe Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 But anyway, 9 hours ago, Declan said: Course it is. It's a style of music in which grumpy white men joylessly pretend they're from Mississippi. People play the blues because it's easy to play. Or rather, more accurately, it's easy to get away with playing badly. I'm thinking Clapton, The Stones etc, and of course any number of grumpy white men in a number of pubs all around the country and beyond. Including the Isle of Man. But that doesn't make it Manx.
