Saint Sebastian Wokingham Band did a wonderful job entertaining the Maltese and guests at this years Malta Day cultural festival at Westminster Cathedral in London.

Malta day conducted by Band Master Block

Under the direction of our wonderful Band Master, Steve Block, who has been doing a great job conducting the band while the process for a permanent MD continues, the band played throughout the day entertaining the audience with a varied programme including a variety of traditional Maltese tunes.

Our Awesome cornet section!

Despite being a very early morning as the band board the bus at 7.15am to get into London, this is one of their favourite gigs during the year! Playing from 9.50am – 5pm, the band play briefly outside in the morning, followed by three main sets in the hall and ending with a gathering in the Piazza and a firework display.

We are fortunate to have many friends willing to help us out and due to some gaps, being the holiday season, we welcomed guests to play with us. Speaking to some of them afterwards, they all had a great day and said that they would always be happy to help out on Malta day if needed.

Thanks to everyone for making this years Malta Day a success and such fun!
