Sorry Alison and margaret p. but 1-The song in the DB is The Wreck of the Ellan Vannin written by Hughie Jones and 2 - Ellan Vannin is NOT the Manx National anthem. A song called Oh Land Of Our Birth is the national anthem. BUT, if you're looking for the song that the Bee Gees recorded then that IS called Ellan Vannin, but a different one to Hughie's song. Complicated eh? If I get the chance in the next few hours I'll send the words of the Bee Gee's version - or at least the original of their version.
