Christmas Street Party, Hal-Balzan - Maltaby Joseph P. Grima |
The first ever Christmas Street Party with an accordion band in Malta took place last week. The Santa Maria Accordion Band (MD Marthese Busutill Cassar) entertained all and sundry in l-Gherusija Street in the 16th Century medieval town of Hal-Balzan in the central part of Malta. The event was organized by the residents committee, and every resident family participated in this event, and all prepared the home made food, sweets, cakes, chaud hot wine, drinks, pastries etc. All the street lighting decorations, and crib paintings and the tent for the band were made and provided free of charge by voluntary painting artists, and street lighting technicians gave their services voluntarily. The Mayor and all council members of the Hal-Balzan Local Council should be thanked for their help and all the logistical support for the traffic management, and all the free electricity consumption of street lighting for the whole month of December. Marthese Busutill Cassar, Joseph P. Grima, and all band members send our thanks for all the articles on AWW and wish you and all at Accordions Worldwide a happy squeeze accordion Christmas and a prosperous New Year. |
