Jurby Alive 2

After the huge success of the last 'Jurby Alive' event , which raised enough money to pay for the Jurby Kids Xmas party :-) , the 2nd one is to be held on January 2nd – just enough time to recover and get some sleep after New Year's Eve at The Bay Port Erin (Ballagroove DJs, more details soon).

Bands for the night are: Smealiean Race, Caution Runners, Jurby Mountain Daredevils and Brian Brough. And we're pretty sure Grant Trash will be spinning some tunes between bands.

It's 'BRING YOUR OWN BEER' and only TWO QUID to get in, so you'll need a good excuse not to go!
