Tickets are now on sale for two charity shows taking place in aid of local singer Katherine Crowe.
The first show takes place on Friday, April 11, at the Centenary Centre in Peel. The line up includes Nick Barlow and The Bad Noise, Christine Collister and Dark Heart.
The second show takes place in the Promenade Suite of the Villa Marina on April 19. This show will be headlined by hugely popular local Pink Floyd tribute band, Pigs On The Wing.

• The Drop makes its monthly appearance at Amber in Douglas on Saturday night. Still in its infancy, this club night comprises two rooms. In the main room you’ll find anything from Indie, Electro, Funk, Reggae, Ska and just about anything else you care to mention, whilst the second room caters for the Rock, Metal and Punk enthusiasts. With as diverse an array of styles being played, hopefully most tastes can be catered for! The doors are open from 9pm to 1am and the event is free entry.
Seven Year Black Hole appear at The Carnival Live Lounge in Douglas this Saturday. The band formed in 2011 and is made up of Dave Clarke on vocals, Ste May on guitar, Chris Corkish on bass and Matt Looker on drums. The band lists their influences from Mastodon to Mogwai, Bob Dylan to Bad Religion. Support on the night comes from local punks, Deady Long Legs. This event is also free entry.
