After two live performances by The Greenfields during the annual Wine Festival held in Qormi on the 5 and 6 September, the duo was once again invited to perform in that locality for yet another traditional Festival held in October 08.
'Lejl f'Casal Fornaro' (An Evening in the Village renowned for Bread Making) is the title given to this year's event organised by the St Sebastian Band Club Youths on Saturday 11 October 2008.

Apart from The Greenfields, there were other folk singers like MaryRose Mallia, the comedians Joe (Dulli)and Veronica, the folk dancers Il-Menhir' from Gozo, parades with traditional costumes, and various reanctment of traditional scenes. All along the 12 decorated streets, one could sample varieties of traditional food, and of course the renowned Qormi bread. An exhibition of agricultural tools, and old terra-cotta objects was also on display.

The Greenfields took the main stage at 11.15pm to start their 3/4hr live performance. The setting was unique, big stage in the middle of the square, well decorated, around the statue of St Paul, and a big audience in attendance. The original idea was to use cd backing tracks, but the sound was so professional that it was decided on stage to work totally live, and the audience really enjoyed and appreciated that!!
It was a joy to hear the audience sing along to many of the well known Greenfields' hits, and enjoying themselves. Well done to all involved!!

After quite an long absence The Greenfields will again perform on the Main stage during this year's Independence Celebrations organised by the Nationalist Party. The Greenfields will perform a couple of songs backed by one of the most popular brass ensambles at present in Malta, The Verasatile Brass.

The spectacle, which also features other Maltese singers will be held on Tuesday 16 September at 8.30pm at the Independence Arena in Floriana.

The Greenfields will compare the whole programme and wind off the proceedings by singing a number of Maltese folk songs on Saturday, 28 June 2008, at Buskett gardens in Rabat.

The Greenfields played under threatening skies for about three hours on the afternoon of Sunday the 18th November at the Old Railway Garden (Ġnien l-Istazzjon) Birkirkara transformed into a Euro Village.

The Village gave the Maltese public the first opportunity to exchange Maltese currency into Euros, and make simple transactions to buy food, drinks and other amenities paying in Euros.

The Greenfields have performed on Saturday, 6th October during the Notte Bianca, 'Lejl Imdawwal', activity organised by the Ministry for Tourism and Culture in Valletta. This highly popular annual event brings together a good number of Maltese and foreign artists of different arts to Valletta, Malta's Capital city, for a night of culture and entertainment. Valletta was specially lit and decorated for the occassion and while most of the architectural treasures of the City were exposed for public viewing, different kinds of entertainment was provided at various spots around its streets, squares, palaces and other focal points.
The Greenfields have performed alongside other well known Maltese 'kantawturi' who specialise in Maltese traditional or contemporary folk songs. This activity took place in the beautiful courtyard of Palazzo Parisio, now housing the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, in Merchants Street, Valletta. The Greenfields performed unplugged during this 45 minutes mini concert, and frequently asked their audience to sing along in their most popular hits. It was a very interesting experience for both the guests and the Greenfields themselves.

For the Autumn and Winter schedules RTK has offered Joe a daily 2 hour programme called 'Appuntament' that is aired live from 13.00 to 15.00pm.

On Friday's show Joe will be joined by Carmen to present a special edition of the programme. Only the songs requested by the listeners during the previous four days will be played, thus leaving the programme's choice of songs entirely in the hands of the listeners.

The Greenfields have performed on Sunday 8 July at Qawra Point, near the Fra Ben Restaurant, as part of the "Climate Change Malta" event organised by Leon Promotions and Battista Leisure Group.
The Greenfields played and sung Maltese Folk and country Music in two different spots on stage from 8.30pm onwards. In between the Greenfields' spots, the dancing troupe CATS performed an hour of dancing from popular Disney movies.
The day before, at the same venue, the popular italian singer Marco Masini gave a concert of Italian songs for the same cause. Entrance for the entertainment related to this event, over the two days, was free - so everyone was welcome.

Singing to a packed hall, The Greenfields interpreted most of their long-time hits, mingled with some new material which blended nicely to create a truely unique Maltese evening. The traditional Maltese dish, the rabbit, was served while Charles Curmi Babyface warmed up the audience with his inimitable style before the Greenfields' performance. The Greenfields excelled in the show they gave to around three hundred Maltese guests who turned out specifically to listen to their folk-style type of music and to be part of this nostalgic evening

MELBOURNE - 16, 17, 18 MARCH 2007

The Greenfields sang on Friday 16th, then to a packed house on Saturday 17th March, at the spacious hall of the Polish Recreation and Convention Center in Albion. The Maltese/Australian audience present were in full voice as they sang

along to most of the Greenfields' songs, and laughed their hearts out at Joe's jokes. The following day, Sunday 18th, the Greenfields performed to yet another packed house at the Maltese Community Centre in the heart of the City of Melbourne. It was really emotional to have most of the people present wave goodbye to Joe and Carmen, outside the Center's door, as the Greenfields left for Avalon's airport for their return trip to Sydney after the show. The three Melbourne gigs were the type of shows which the Greenfields always look to when singing to Maltese emigrants.

BRISBANE - SATURDAY - 24 MARCH 2007 After a week's holiday in Surfers Paradise, the fifth show by the Greenfields was performed in an Italian club in Brisbane, for the Maltese living in Queensland. The Greenfields performed an hour and three quarters show of Maltese, and English songs, that was warmly received by the audience present.
This venue is generally thought to be a quiet venue by Maltese artists who perform in Australia. However, the Greenfields were so enthusiastically received, with the audience singing along to almost anything Joe and Carmen sang, that the evening turned out to be a very big success indeed!

SYDNEY - 31 MARCH and 1 APRIL 2007

After the performances in Melbourne and Brisbane, the Greenfields returned to Sydney for the final two shows of their 2007 Australian tour. The first show was a 'cabaret style' performance in the luxurious Mandavilla Function Centre in Horsley Park on Saturday 31 March. This was a special night in the Greenfields tour, because the hundred or so guests invited included top business people, Club Presidents, and even Mr John Aquilina , the Speaker of Parliament in NSW, who had just been re-elected to Parliament for another term of office.
The lavish sea-food platters which included lobsters, crabs, extra king-size prawns etc., complimented nicely with this high-class evening. After a few songs by an up-and-coming young female singer, The Greenfields took the floor, dressed in white and tourquoise, to present an hour or so of Maltese and English songs from their vast repertoire. In this sophisticated atmosphere, the Greenfields could express better their talents and versatility. Joe's comedy and voice harmonies, together with Carmen's strong and beautiful voice were appreciated and applauded by one and all.
This was a beautiful experience indeed!

The Greenfields were again back in concert the next day, Sunday 1 April, at the Hamrun Club, in Marsden Park for the final lap of their Australian tour. Charles (Babyface) and brother Joe Curmi started the programme, followed by Maltese Aussies Rigu and Joe Galea. The first part of the programme ended with an up and coming young singer doing a rock and roll act. The Greenfields took the stage for the second part of the programme and gave an hour and 50 mins show of Seekers, Country, and Maltese songs that had the audience singing at the top of their voices, and laughing their hearts out at Joe's jokes.
After the show, the people present flocked to the Greenfields to lay their hands on a signed cd, take photos and urge Joe and Carmen to pass the emigrants' best wishes to their families in Malta.

The first of the long awaited double cd with all the Maltese songs recorded by The Greenfields, will be released in Malta in April 2007. The two CDs will be called "AHNA L-MALTIN" Vol 1 and Vol 2, and will feature a number of songs that The Greenfields have recorded and made popular through the years, but were only released on vinyl and cassette formats. The first CD will also include a previously unreleased track entitled "Ahna l-Maltin", the winning song of the YTC Song Festival 1987.
The songs have all been re-recorded, but the vocal and instrumental arrangements of the original recordings were, as much as possible, kept intact. The release of The Greenfields' "Ahna l-Maltin" Vol 1 CD coincides with the duo's visit to Australia, from the 5th March to the 5th April 2007. Volume 2 is planned for release in Summer 2007.

After so many years of singing mainly Maltese folk songs, the Greenfields have decided to go back to the early days of the group and have assembled together a special repertoire of British and Irish folk songs, and a vast number of country music hits for a special Folk and Country night.

You may listen to The Greenfields, most probably as you have never heard them before, at the Steeples Night Club, Santa Marija Hotel, Triq ir-Ramel, Bugibba, every Friday, from 9.00pm onwards. This is a special occasion where The Greenfields perform live, invite guests for a good sing-along to the folk songs sung, or for a little dance during the interpretation of well known country songs ..... anyone for line dancing?
