 | Ka Roger
Ka Roger is Roger Pullin, a marine biologist by profession and a songwriter and musician by passion. He settled in the Isle of Man in the late 1960s and played in the folk clubs of those far off days - notably David Callister's "Manx Ballads and Blues Club" - and through the 70s with bands such as Henry's Headband, Kyte and Triad. His "Song for the Terns" is in the Manx National Song Book. Roger has made music all around the world, notably in the Philippines, where he acquired his "Ka" title, which means 'comrade'. His collaborators in music include Michael Allen, formerly Al Green's keyboardist, Nashville bassist Don Johnson, and guitarist Sammy Asuncion. Ka Roger's website - www.song-smiths.com - contains ballads, blues, country, environmental and rock songs, recorded in the Isle of Man, Italy, the Philippines and the USA (Nashville). His recent focus has been on Gospel compositions, with blues and Celtic influences. Isle of Man Dot Com is distributing his three CDs in that genre: "Travellers in Time"; "Blessed"; and "Acoustic Hymnal".

Founded in 1992, the Centre is part of the School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology in the University of Liverpool, managed by a committee with representatives from the three partner organisations Manx National Heritage, the University of Liverpool and the Isle of Man Department of Education.
Its primary functions are to teach students, to carry out research in Manx archaeological, cultural, environmental and historical studies and to further the international recognition of the Isle of Man in these areas.
We are very pleased to carry a range of publications from the Centre and associated published work by students and others connected to the Centre.

| | Lily Publications
Miles and Linda Cowsill at Lily Publications have been publishing books since 1991. Many have a tourism or nautical flavour and many are about the Isle of Man were the business is based. We carry just those about the Isle of Man.
The Lily Publications house style is distinctive for its large format and generous use of excellent colour pictures, many of which are the work of accomplished and experienced photographer Miles Cowsill.
We find this makes all thier publications easy to read and the images almost makes you feel as if you are actually there. Great as a reminder of a fantastic holiday perhaps.
