'Unlocking Our Sound Heritage' spans nearly a century of sounds and voices from the Island, including stories of folklore and superstition.

They've been released ahead of the Manx Museum's 100th anniversary, and are from a collection of over 600 recordings.

Jude Dicken, Collections Information Manager for Manx National Heritage, says more are scheduled to become available later this year, along with their popular Lunchtime Listen events.
