Steve Gibbons and PJ Wright, who have probably played on the Isle of Man as many times as any visiting musicians, will be sleeping just a few yards from us tonight. But I wish they weren't.
They were pictured a couple of hours ago at a charity concert at the Villa Marina in aid of Phil "Mo" Maddrell, our next door neighbour, who died in July. The concert was organised by his widow, Judy, and her family in aid of the Manx Stroke Foundation.
Mo was involved in the Manx music scene for many years, often doing the sound for local gigs, and Steve and PJ were among the many musicians who played for free in his memory. Judy has a houseful of guests tonight.
