Ivan Grech’s second solo concert, held on July 18, raised €20,088.38 for ALS Malta.

This incorporates all revenue from ticket sales as well as donations. The cost of putting up the concert was covered through partners and sponsors.

Ivan gave a two-hour show, performing some of his Winter Moods hits and also cover versions of some his favourite songs through the years.

The audience of around 2,000 people, danced and sang through Tainted Love, Dancing In The Dark, Always On My Mind and Winter Moods’ hits, including My Neverland, Hang On To Your Smile, Days Of My Life, Everlasting and Marigold. The concert was held at Ta’ Liesse in Valletta.

Ivan was joined on stage by international musician Pascal Kravetz for an intimate piano session in the middle of the concert. They were both accompanied by La Voix children’s choir for a special rendition of Miss You and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Ivan was accompanied by Jeremy Micallef and David Cassar Torregiani on guitars, David Ciantar on keyboards, Robert Galea on bass and Raphael Tonna on drums. The backing vocalists were Angela Spiteri, Jackie Pace Delicata and Louisa Frendo Wirth.
