A Manx organ donation will help a Catholic chapel in Spain - and it's also sparked an appeal for information.

The organ from Croit-e-Caley Chapel in Colby has found a new home in the 18th century Hermandad de Montserrat.

The instrument is currently being restored ready for its installation, but its new owners are keen to find out more about its history.

Manx-based organ builder Peter Jones is asking people to get in touch with any information or photos they have, which will be used in a booklet being prepared for its first concert in Spain.
