Fiona McArdle presents a programme which looks at two kinsmen who wanted change, and the sea and its importance, not just in the life of the Island.

Hughie Jones of The Spinners wrote about the loss of the Ellan Vannin on 3rd December 1909. There's that song and reminiscences of the Ellan Vannin from Mona Douglas. In Kirk Arbory, an unusual custom was held on 6th December, with an associated song and other music.

Maralyn Crellin introduces the programme. Liam and Victoria Reynolds and Lisa Mellor of the Peel Pantoloons talk about the year-long work involved in bringing this year's production, Robin Hood, to the Peel Centenary Centre. We join Annie Kissack at the launch of her new book of poetry, A Suggestion of Wrens.
