A night of spellbinding music, performed in the candlelit confines of a small village chapel will take place on the night of Old Christmas eve.

Sounding like an idyllic scene from a Victorian Dickensian novel, the evening, which will be held at the Holy Trinity Church, Patrick, on Friday, January 5, from 8pm, will be hosted by Hartes Ease, a group who perform medieval renaissance music from the sixteenth and seventeenth century on purely acoustic instruments.

The evening, which will be held under atmospheric candle light, has been organised by the Knockaloe charity, run by the Patrick community on a non-profit basis, who are developing a Visitors Centre for Knockaloe Internment Camp on the Isle of Man, along with a digital database of all World War one internees.

The Holy Trinity church in Patrick is particularly significant, as it sits next to what was dubbed ’Camp 5’ by the internees, which was the area of the Patrick graveyard where Internees who died at the camp were buried .

Organiser Alison Jones said that they were encouraged to hold the night again after the first concert proved to be a success.

’We held the night last year, and it sold out very quickly,’ she said. ’Nearly everyone we spoke to afterwards told us that we had to hold it again next year, and we are hoping this next concert will be just as good.’

Tickets are £10, including mulled wine and snacks, available from knockaloe.im
