A crowd of over 7,500 attended the two-hour-long Winter Moods concert at the Valletta Waterfront on Wednesday night, a spokesman for the promoters said.

"Winter Moods made music history with the highest number of tickets ever sold for a performance by a local act," the spokesman said.

The show kicked off at 9.30 p.m. with Fake Love, followed by All The Time In The World, Adrenaline and a string of hits including Everyday Song, Come To You, Sarah, Crazy Moon and Moonshine. Marigold concluded the show.

During one of the most touching moments of the performance, when Ivan Grech and Melvin Caruana were performing on the catwalk, George Curmi - Il-Pusè - accompanied the duo on the violin in an outstanding rendition of the classic rock song Dust In The Wind and the band's own Friends.

Lead singer Ivan Grech (right) said: "We were amazed by the turn out and the feedback. The people's support made it all worthwhile. We had a fantastic time on stage; the crowd's response to our songs carried us through our set seamlessly. It was an emotional experience and a dream come true for the band. We will carry this concert in our hearts for years and years to come".

The concert was the Vodafone Music Jam event of this year, organised by NnG Promotions.

The concert was also supported by Hamilton Travel, MSC Crociere, Coca Cola, Heineken, Jack Daniels, MTA, Kia, HSBC, Band Aid Musi, and Hard Rock Cafe. The light show was provided by Nexol Lighting.
