An all-star line-up of Manx talent came together recently for a special fundraising variety concert.

Held at Marown School and organised by the popular Dot Tilbury, the annual event raised £1,860 for young cyclists in the island, a cause close to Dot’s heart.

The concert included performances from dancers, singers and instrument players, such as the ‘The Enthusiasts’, a young soul band from Ramsey Grammar School, the Christine Wild dancing group, and singers such as Amy Convery and Xenia Munoz-Fite.

The event was chaired by Manx Radio’s Simon Clarke, who also took to the stage to perform a sketch about the new Douglas sea wall.

Talking about the concert, Dot said: ‘After expenses, the total amount raised at the sell-out concert in Marown school was a fantastic £1,860.58. A big thankyou to everyone who supported the event.

‘I want to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the event.’

A key figure in junior Manx cycling, Dot was awarded an MBE in 2006 for her dedication to the sport.

She’s also well-loved across the island for her original songs and poetry, which have graced stages across the Isle of Man.
