It's the second day of the Isle of Man Festival of Choirs at the Villa Marina.
Yesterday adjudicator Robert Elliot had a hard job to whittle the entrants down to just three finalists with the standard of singing said to be first class.
Chorus Amici pipped Blackburn's people's choir for the mixed spot, whilst local choir Manx voices finished second to the Chanterelles in the ladies section.
There was close competition in the male voice class, with the two Welsh choirs, Bridgend and Fron, being awarded joint second.
But going through to the finals it was the Haydock male voice choir.
Today each of the finalists will perform a concert programme of 25 minutes, with competition getting underway at 2pm
