1. The Leone Band of Victoria recently executed a musical programme at It-Tokk, Victoria. Also taking part was the Zurich Jumurz Jugendband, made up of 55 youngsters.
The Leone Band, under the direction of Mro Colin Attard, played the best numbers from Leone Goes Pop, while the Zurich band, directed by Mro Franz Honegger, played excerpts from various musicals. A musical arrangement of My Way was played by the two bands together.
Speeches were made by the presidents of the two bands and mementos were exchanged.
2. Xaghra Council organised the third fig festival. The council is the only entity in Malta that forms part of Ficusnet – a network of European villages and countries that produce fig products.
There was a conference on the cultivation of figs in Dun Alwig Camilleri hall at the Victory Band Club. In the evening, the Voodoo Gurus band gave a concert at Victory Square. The Verna Group and the Xaghra Folkloristic Group also gave several performances.
There was also a show of fig products at Victory Square. A delegation from the San Michele Salentino council of Italy, led by its mayor Pietro Epifani, attended the festival. The Xaghra council is twinned with the Italian council.
