After the children finished, older artists took over the stage with singer-songwriters, bands, choirs, poets, opera singers, Brazillian Capoeira dancers and DJs providing vibrant melodies and electrifying performances until sunset.

Audience participation saw people dancing to Wici’s south American tunes at Hut 2, and singing along to Elton John covers played by Rich Allo and Paul Bentley at the Look Out café.

The Jersey Chamber Orchestra Quartet and Bella Voce also brought a classical note to the event, which also featured the winning poets from the Jersey Festival of Words writing competition last year.

James Mews, the Chairman of charity Music in Action which organised the event, said: “We particularly want to thank the generosity of the patrons and donors from lead sponsor Zedra, and sponsors and partners Citi, Jersey Music Service, Jersey Development Company and Lloyds Bank International. 

"This year we want to thank those parents who came down with their children to enable them to take part with many schools being closed. And the schools who managed to attend including the Jersey Academy of Music.

"It was the show of a lifetime for the boys and girls taking part that they will remember forever. We also want to thank the many musicians and volunteers who gave so much to make this a special day for so many and to raise money for educational workshops in schools.

"Like all, I was blown away by the sheer depth and stunning talent performing. What a musical island we live in.”
