Oh Ellen Vannen, Of the Isle of Man Company, Lost in the Irish Sea Oh Ellen Vannen, 3rd December 1909 ~ 100 years ago today http://is.gd/5aBoL Tweeted this at 1am this morning, is when she set sail 10 yrs ago. The video uses the Spinners (The English 'Liverpool') Folk group version (imho a sadly underrated Folk group who did a lot to make folk music 'popular' on tv & radio in my youth also their concerts were sell outs and albums sold well when not much other singalong 'folk' was around.) http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/mquart/mq08699.htm Earlier thread: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=7931&messages=14
