We live in the Isle of Man, a smAll island with a population of about 80,000 situated in the Irish Sea, between England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. It is a Crown Dependency which means it is a self governing possession of the British Crown. We are very proud of our parliament, Tynwald which claims to be the world's oldest parliament in continuous existence, dating back to 979. We also issue our own bank notes, coins and stamps and enjoy a unique perspective in terms of our language, (Manx Gaelic), history, music and art. It is a beautiful island with very varied scenery. The Choir is SSA, (soprano, mezzo-soprano and alto) and has a membership base of around 40 members under the watchful eye of Musical Director, Angela Stew...    less

O my luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly played in tune. As fair art thou my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I. I will luve thee still,my dear, Till All the seas gang dry. I will luve thee still,my dear, While the sands of life shAll run, Till All the seas gang dry,my dear, and rocks melt with the sun. As fair art thou my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I. I will come again,my luve, Though it were ten thousand mile。 我的愛人像一朵紅玫瑰， 六月裡初綻芳香。 我的愛人像一首旋律， 如此的甜美動聽。 妳是如此美麗，我的小姑娘， 我是如此深愛著妳。 我愛妳永不渝，親愛的， 儘管海水已枯乾。 我仍深愛妳不渝，親愛的； 儘管生命的沙漏落不停， 儘管海水已枯乾， 儘管石頭隨烈日消融， 妳是如此美麗，我的小姑娘， 我是如此深愛著妳。 我將回到妳的身邊，我的愛人， 儘管是相距千萬里。  less
