The MoonJets
Bury Village Hall 8pm

Sponsored by Surgipath

A welcome return for our very own Indie Rockers after their memorable gig at last year’s festival.

The MoonJets formed in 2006 wanting to change the face of British guitar music. Taking influences from the British R’n’B bands of the 60s and modern day Indie Rock’n’Roll, the band has a unique sound that is stirring up excitement around the country. The MoonJets have just finished recording their second EP, Life On The Lilo, the follow-up to their debut EP Into The Night, which proved to be very popular with their audiences.

The MoonJets’ first single, Indie Girl, peaked at number two in the Mod Radio UK charts in 2006.

City of London
Chamber Choir

Thomas a Beckett Church 7.30pm

Sponsored by Peter H Gammons

Conducted by Christopher Field
with Emma Gibbins (organ)

The City of London Chamber Choir was founded in 1998 by a group of friends who had previously sung together in the University of London Chamber Choir and wished to continue to have the opportunity to sing in cathedrals and other major churches on an ad hoc basis.

In April 2008, they will be returning to sing the services at Westminster Abbey for the fourth time and, in July, will be visiting Brecon and Llandaff cathedrals. The choir are looking forward to their return visit to Ramsey to sing in the Arts Festival.
