Andrew Caruana - 08/08/2014

 

Hi I live in Adelaide, South Australia and was in Zurrieq for il Festa ta il-Madonna tal-Karmnu last month. It was a very special time for me. My father Daniel Caruana was a very avid and enthusiastic supporter of this feast and the Banda Queen Victoria all his life until he passed away seven years ago. I the last time I had the opportunity to attend the feast in person was 37 years ago when my father brought me to Malta.

 

My entire visit to Zurrieq including the Feast, Band performances and wonderful Band Club, Church, beautiful statue ta il-Madonna tal-Karmnu and spectacular fireworks show (Magic In the Sky) was fantastics a a special memory that I will hold close to my heart. I hope to return again in approximately 4 years with my wife and children again, God willing. I would like to thank the Band's vice president and and business director for their hospitality showing my family and I around the Band club. It was a highlight and particularly when we saw the banner that my farther organised and mother made standing proudly in the committee room.

 

One suggestion that would be very useful to me as a second generation Maltese Australian person would be to publish a small summary of the feast, band performance and fireworks program in English. While I understand most Maltese , unfortunately living in Adelaide I have not had the opportunity to learn to read the Maltese language. Thanks you once again for all you hard work and wonderful experience.

Hello Everyone at talkarmnuzurrieq, and the good people of Zurrieq,

As the Manager/Producer and Sound Technician of Abba Authentic, may I on behalf of my band thank you for inviting us to Malta and to Zurrieq. Your hospitality, friendship and kindness will stay with us for ever. We now have a lot of really good Maltese friends.

Our visit to your radio station was so enjoyable, thank you for allowing us to sing live in your studio. The crew, volunteers for our show on Friday 11th July worked so hard in setting up the stage and lighting rig for us, all was so perfect for us.

We hope you enjoyed our tribute to Abba; we really enjoyed performing for you. It was all for such a fantastic cause. Our trip will stay with us forever, thank you to every single person that attended our show and again a massive thank you to the crew and volunteers.

May your good work, your club and radio station stay forever. All our love Colin and on behalf of Abba Authentic.
