British Brass Band entertains the crowd
(Friday, 17th August 2007)
 

Today, the feast activities were dedicated to our emigrants who are currently among us. The St. Stythians Band (Cornwall, UK) played a musical brass concert in the main square. The event was organized by a joint collaboration between the Ghajnsielem Local Council, Ghajnsielem Parish and the St Joseph Band Club.

The band, directed by Derek Johnston, performed a number of modern music pieces including Cornet Rock by Philip Sparke, Hey Baby by B. Channel and Margaret Cobb, Hard Rock Hallelujah by Lordi, Post Horn Galop by Denis Floyd, Ein Schnaps, a cornet duet performed by Lester Scott and Denis Floyd, and the traditional Schneewaker and Proper Job.

The concert ended with an exchange of gifts between Mr Johnston, on behalf of the St Stythians Band, and Ghajnsielem mayor Frans Cauchi, archpriest Fr Frankie Bajada, and St Joseph Band Club president Gino Cauchi.

St Stythians isn't actually a village, but a traditional Cornish collective of hamlets and villages. The main village in the area covered by St Stythians is Stithians, where the band is based. As well as performing around 40 concerts a year, the band enters around 4 contests per annum.
