Castle Rushen is the venue for two nights of music-making by young people from the Department of Education and Children’s Soundcheck project and their guests.
The concerts on July 5 and 6 follow on from a successful gig there last year.
DEC youth officer Dave Hattersley said: ‘We are thrilled to be playing in such a fantastic venue again.
‘Performances will start at 6pm and end at 11pm and we’ll have some guest appearances, along with the numerous acts from Soundcheck. The sound and lighting will be controlled by young people, including a superb laser show.’
Soundcheck acts appearing include Zac Phillips, Azariah, Alice Dudley, Marc Mccabe O’Kelly, Red Shift, Full Moon Fallout, Brainstorm and south-based The Same, plus special guests Dusty Plankton, Roc Vannin, The Bar Toads and Chris Gray, with more to be announced soon. Special guest from England is Charly Prior.
Tickets (£5 per night or £8 for both nights, with discounts for students) are available from the Manx Museum, Castle Rushen and at www.manxnationalheritage.im
