Qualifying session takes place today
A top class line-up is guaranteed at this weekend’s Isle of Man Festival of Choirs.
The Villa Marina will host the fifth festival with organisers promising a superb calibre of music over both today's (Sat) qualifying and Sunday’s finals day.
Both off-Island and local choirs will be competing with visitors providing a welcome tourism boost outside of the traditional holiday season.
With prize money also on offer, festival director, Geoff Corkish, says the event has developed in a short space of time:
