NO FIREWORKS BUT A LOT TO CAPTURE

St Julians Festa - no fireworks worth talking about but still a lot of interesting shots to take.
Even bandsmen get thirsty. While the procession with the statue of the patron saint took one course, the band was playing elsewhere within the confines of the village. The band stopped near this place so the bandsmen could quench their thirst at this pub – drinks for all the bandsmen and probably on the house. Here they mingle with the pub’s patrons while they have a ‘merited’ rest. Not sure if the rest is actually merited as they stop to rest after each tune (and at each bar that offers them free drinks, haha) but it’s part of the fun of the festa.
Many thanks for your views, comments, and FAV’s. I appreciate them very much.
such fun. How was their playing at the end of the procession?

@cruiser I don't know, I didn't stay till the end. Probably they were drinking more soft drinks than beer.

Can not beat a good Irish Pub, My wife and myself have been to many in our time all over Ireland. She was born in Limerick and we try to get over once a year if possible...Fav

A supe candid shot telling the story -- hope they were not staggering around with their instruments as they went on their way ! :)

Great shot! I'm with @cruiser - I'm imagining the tunes might sound a little different at the end of the parade!
