Party pieces, party hooters and tooters and patriotic flag waving is all promised at the Gaiety Theatre this weekend.
The three-time Cleveland Medal winner, Paul Costain, is teaming up with Manx Concert Brass for the 2024 Manx Last Night of the Proms.
The annual fun-filled celebration takes place on Saturday (September 28), at the Gaiety Theatre at 7:30pm and truly will have something for everyone.
Party Pieces
Manx Concert Brass chairman Steve Maddocks said: “I think it is fair to say that whenever we have been fortunate to perform alongside Paul, he always delights the audience with both his music and his showmanship, and I am sure this year’s Proms will be no different.
“We are genuinely delighted to be welcoming him back as our guest soloist and look forward to hearing his repertoire and joining forces with us for all the crowd-pleasing favourites.”
Those favourites, under the baton of musical director Ian Clague, will include customary classics such as Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance, Land of Hope and Glory, Johan Strauss’ Radetzky March, Hubert Parry’s Jerusalem and the ever-popular Fantasia on British Sea-Songs.
There will also be some well-known show tunes performed by Paul, including music from Oliver and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
Whether for the more serious music lovers or those who dress in their finery and tune up their vocal cords in a rousing finale, it’s set to be a special night showcasing some of the best music around.
