The village of Għaxaq, to the south of the island, rocked to the music of Winter Moods during a concert forming part of the programme of activities held to mark the feast of the patron saint, St Joseph.
A spokesman for the promoters said thousands of people attended the concert last Friday organised by the Saint Joseph Band Club and Wilfred Spiteri. The spokesman said the crowd spilled from the football ground where the concert was held into neighbouring streets.
Special guests Chasing Pandora kicked off the night at 9 p.m. followed by Winter Moods with a show of over two hours. The band performed some of their greatest hits and new music from their latest album Argento.
Jon Lukas Woodenman made a surprise appearance half way through the show for an acoustic rendition of his UK hit I Can’t Afford To Lose together with Ivan and Melvin. This performance had originally been planned for the band’s concert at The Granaries, Floriana last July but had to be postponed when Jon was suddenly diagnosed with lung cancer. He has now recovered and this was his first live performance since.
During a touching moment in the concert, Winter Moods performed Miss You – a ballad from their latest album – in memory of their friend Edward Borg, who passed away recently.
The concert reached a climax with the performance of Marigold, Hang On To Your Smile and My Neverland.
The beneficiary of the concert was Puttinu Cares for Children Fund, which received €5,000 from the event.
