The Manx Youth Orchestra will mark its 50th Christmas performance with a special concert.

Since 1971, the orchestra has given thousands of young musicians the opportunity to play together, with around 150 children taking part this year.

The evening will include adaptations of songs by Adele, Nirvana and Wham, with the audience encouraged to sing along to seasonal favourites and modern classics.

The concert is taking place at the Villa Marina Royal Hall on December 11, getting underway at 7:30pm.

Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for kids, and can be booked on the Villa Gaiety website.
