Thursday Night is Music Night Concerts began in 2001 as a fund raising effort to help pay off the large debt after a huge Church refurbishment. Their success was such that long after debt repayment was completed, the Concerts continued.
There is usually one concert per month throughout the year with mainly local performers and our philosophy to provide a platform for our Island young performers has been maintained.
The retiring collections now go to charity or to help the group performing, the latter especially in the case of our regular visitors from St Petersburgh , Manchester and Wales. It is a regular Church /community activity open to all at little cost, free entry but with a retiring collection
