Blues fans will be gathering in Douglas on Saturday for the start of the two-day Big Wheel Blues Festival.
The annual event is being staged at the Villa Marina this year because its spiritual home, at the Glen Gardens in Laxey, is being refurbished.
Organisers say they will be back in Laxey next year, but are hoping for record crowds in the capital.
Dave McLean says the 2011 event features a huge range of acts:
