Tickets for the Main Stage gig in the Blues Marquee this Festival Friday 2005 were completely sold out before the event.

Festival organisers were particularly pleased with this show of support from
Festival Friday 2005 - Main Stage - Click to enlarge
festival fans as the last two weeks of the run-up to the event were shadowed by the loss of the original stage location, a last minute application to the licencing courts and the need to find a replacement venue. When the licence was granted on Thursday the 12th May - just 24 hours before the kick-off - there was a palpable feeling of relief and joy around the streets of Laxey as organisers continued with the job of setting-up. And then the sun came out. What a start to Festival 2005.

Programme for the rest of the Festival.
