Nine band clubs are among 22 organisations which have received €1 million in EU funds that are meant for the promotion and development of art and culture.

The funds have been distributed by the Parliamentary Secretary for EU Funds, 29-year-old Ian ‘On The Make’ Borg, who said to the press: “Band clubs contribute to economic activity, but above all to cultural activity in rural areas where there is not as much going on as there is in towns.”

The band clubs are the Siggiewi Brass Band, the Imperial Band Club, the St Philip Band Club AD1851, L-Ghaqda Muzikali Santa Marija ta’ Had-Dingli, St Nicholas Band Club, L-Ghaqda Muzikali Madonna ta’ Lourdes, 12th May Band Club, Socjeta Filarmonika San Bartolimew, and L-Ghaqda Muzikali L’Isle Adam.

By the most astonishing coincidence, six of these nine band clubs are in Ian Borg’s constituency.
