Patrick Church was filled to capacity on 7th January 2017 to hear a concert given by Hartes Ease in aid of the Knockaloe Charity. 

The programme (set out below) included music which represented all the nationalities involved with the camp - German, Italian and Turkish internees and British and Manx who worked there.
