The concert this evening was held in front of the large audience who listened with rapt concentration as ManilvaTV once again filmed the concert to be shown on the TV at a later date; the Mayor, Antonia Munuz who was at the front, led the audience in a standing ovation at the end. They had performed a programme of difficult versions of the various types of music with great aplomb and there were some individual solo performances from members of the band; Once again another memorable evening in good old sunny Manilva !
