An Evening of Swing: A black-tie Christmas gala in support of Hospice Isle of Man
Make this year’s Christmas celebration one to remember.
Join us for an elegant evening of fine dining, live music and dancing as Not Quite Big Band, the sensational 17-piece swing band from Manchester, takes to the stage at the Comis Hotel & Golf Resort.
Whether you’re thanking clients, celebrating the year with colleagues or bringing together family and friends, An Evening of Swing offers all the ingredients for a memorable Christmas night out — without having to organise the party yourself.
The evening begins with a welcome drink before guests sit down to a three-course plated dinner. Then the focus turns to the music as NQBB brings the sound and energy of a full swing band to the ballroom.
There will also be a charity auction and raffle during the evening, raising vital funds to support the care Hospice Isle of Man provides to patients and families across our Island.
