A year? That’s what William Mangion was promised. The fools have been misled. They might be getting a lot of money for doing very little, but it’s personal glory and recognition they’re after and a year’s contract with government won’t earn them any.

One year later, they’ll be back where they started, having achieved nothing. The money won’t even be worth much by then.

U l-iehor, Mangion, to promote local bands.

Some local bands already have all the promotion they need to work here and abroad. They did not need the push of some guy in charge to promote them.

And those who did not make it in the local music world, mean they did not work hard enough, or they are not good enough, so one can classify their bands, music and sounds as ta’ l’imbarazz’.

This apart, I find these appointments to be nothing but another ‘Huge’ waste of our money.

If people choose to play the guitar and make a living out of it, it is their duty, not the person appointed ‘in charge’, to get the work and contacts for themselves because you see when one is a professional, and good at what they do, people look you up, find you, whether you are here or in a different corner somewhere in the world.

These people ‘promoted’ ‘in charge’ of promoting people are sending this message out: ‘kellem lili u nipprova naqdik’.

Labour Style, nothing more.

In reply to carlos. When I heard that little excuse, I immediately thought the funds were going to be diverted to give out prizes for Labourites and Labour switchers. Plus less investment in education makes for a less educated population, which can only be in Labour's favour.

In reply to A la Francisa. Ajma, it's called a retainer. You know, to make sure he will be there at their beck and call. You know, in case he is too busy directing a panto or a play...Not.

I am probably being naive, but since PBS is a public entity, shouldn’t there have been a call for applications?

Perhaps not, in the case of onsultants? Then why is his remuneration cited as a monthly salary?

I am not impressed at these appointments. But we were all warned. And now we have minimum of 5 years of squandering not only state funds but state dignity.
