There were also guest performances from the hand bell ringers, solo singing by Cat Mills, brass music from the Ramsey Tuesday Tooters, magic card tricks from young performer ’Oscar’ with comparing and comedy from David Barker.

’It was so great to be back together again and made us realise how lucky we are over here on the island to have the freedom,’ said organiser Heather Ruffino.

’A very special thank you to all who took part and now we look forward to starting rehearsals for the Ramsey Pantomime Aladdin, which will be staged at the weekends end of January beginning of February.’
