what an interesting accent, I had to listen a few times, and there were still words I didn't understand. people on islands like st. helena are fortunate to live so isolated from the more advanced world and all our problems. thanks for the video.
It's a beautiful accent, intonations of Irish, west country, Devon, Cornish. Listening to it is like hearing the missing link between the accents of England, and modern, post colonial eaccents, such as those heard in Australia, New Zealand, and even the US and Carribean. Thanks for posting this. St.Helena is very isolated and it's hard to get audio source material like this.
wow i didnt even know they had videos of saint helena on here..im half saint and i live in london.. i went there in 1994 when i was 10 years old..im so happy i found this video, my uncle just told me eddie duff is actually a part of my family...so cool...
My family are from Saint Helena, it is isolated in as much it is hard to get to but it is not isolated in terms of technology.
