Ballabeg Oie'll Verree - 7/1/11

07 Jan 2011

For those who are still hankering for a few more carols and a bit of Christmas fun the 'better late than never' Ballabeg Oie'll Verree will be back by popular demand, taking place on Friday 7th January at 7.30pm at Arbory Parish Hall. The Oie'll Verree is a traditional Manx concert held on old Christmas eve, but as the organisers were keen to include the Michael Players, who will once again be touring with their one act Manx dialect play, the event is to be held a few days later than tradition would normally dictate.
The evening is organised primarily for people to have a good time and a variety of acts will provide warm up entertainment in advance of the Michael Players star turn. Supper will also be provided with tickets competitively priced at £4 for adults and £2 for children. All funds raised will go to the Southern Befrienders.
Organiser and MC for the evening, Phil Gawne, explained "those who attended last year will be pleased to learn that I've lost the joke book that was the centre of my part in last year's event, although sadly this means I'll have to revert to Christmas Cracker jokes. This is an excellent opportunity for people to enjoy a traditional Manx community event, have a bit of fun and supper and raise funds for Southern Befrienders. Tickets will be available on the door so please come along and bring your friends.” For further information please email Phil Gawne or phone 834844 or 416221.
