Big name acts due to appear over TT fortnight including Jessie J tonight
The owner of a bar in Douglas is looking ahead to one of the biggest music festivals on the Island in over a decade.
The '1886 Big Stage', at Villiers Square, launched yesterday (28 May) and will operate throughout the TT fortnight.
There's capacity for at least 4,500 people to watch the acts which will include Madness, Nile Rodgers and - this evening - Jessie J.
Speaking to Marc Tyley, on MiTunes, James Thompson said everything worked out with regards to inviting artists over:

'Bleak future' for Manx businesses if people don't shop local
Declining amount of food production 'quite frightening'
Charity continuing to provide support to family of murdered teenager
'Significant progress' on Manxman repairs over the last week
