The big problem with compact camera's is they don't do low light well at all. Compact cameras can give fantastic IQ outdoors on a nice bright day. Indoors however they really suffer as they cant get the shutter speeds high enough without introducing lots of noise.
The best bet for you would be to pick up a few generations old SLR 2nd hand, SLR's dont hold their money well so you can get a few year old tech for a fraction of the price of a new camera. I bought my 20D new for over a grand in 2006, it's now worth probably less than £150. So for £150, plus a bit for a lens you can get yourself a hell of an upgrade over a compact for shooting indoors.
