Excitement and anticipation is increasing, following confirmation of the first few acts for next year's Garden Party music festival.
The artists booked so far include Leddra Chapman, Yashin, Swound and Red Gap and the charity to benefit in 2012 is Soundcheck.
The Garden Party is held on land owned by Marco Leonetti, at Begoade in Onchan.
He says it's great to be able to give something back to the organisation which has nurtured so much local musical talent:
