The ‘Last Night of the Proms’ style concert will showcase the talents of the band and choir both individually and collectively as they mark the 90th anniversary of the Royal British Legion. Celton Manx Executive Director, Bill Mummery said: ‘We are pleased to be supporting the events to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Royal British Legion and especially to benefit the Castletown branch. This sponsorship is a great way for us to say thank-you to the Castletown community which has supported us since our arrival in the town in 2008. Although we have now relocated to our new headquarters in Braddan, we will continue to look for ways in which we can support the Castletown community in the future.’ Mr Jim Cottier Chairman of the Royal British Legion (Castletown) said: ‘This is a great event for the British Legion in Castletown, it’s an excellent way to celebrate the 90th Anniversary and we are very grateful to Celton Manx for its kind support of the concert. We will have some great music from Rushen Silver band and Musicale, as a finale we will have the usual fatasia of sea shanties, Rule Brittannia and more. As you would expect, audience participation is a key part of the finale so bring your flags!’ The concert starts at 7.30pm and tickets are available for ?5 for adults and ?3 for concessions from • Peter Norris Music - Finch Road, Douglas • Jacs Homestores - Arbory Street, Castletown • Ken Quine’s hardware store - Station Road Port Erin • On the door on the evening.
