No Festival of Choirs in 2021
The Isle of Man won’t be in fine voice this October after news that another popular event has succumbed to Covid-19.
The Festival of Choirs, which is normally held every two years, has been cancelled.
Five UK singing groups, and a range of Island based choirs, had already signed up following the success of the 2019 event.
