Six brass bands to perform at Villa Marina tonight
A blast of brass this weekend will, its hoped, give a positive message to the world and a smile to those who need their spirits raised.
This evening, six brass bands will perform a virtual concert from the stage of the Villa Marina.
It's a tribute to health workers but its also aimed at giving a concert starved Island an arms-length evening of music.
A live-stream of the event is planned through the Rushen Silver Band facebook page.
Organiser Chris Weldon says it should boost other bandsmen and women:
TT rider 'suffered chest injuries in fatal crash'
Community on Island 'praying' as 7.8 earthquake hits Philippines
Workforce size and pay awards make health budget 'difficult to predict'
