Eynsford Concert Band first visited Malta in 1986, visiting for the 6th time in April 2024. Over the years, the band has formed a close relationship with the Imperial Band Mellieha, including involvement in the organisation of the Mellieha International Music Festival. We were therefore thrilled that, over the weekend 10th-14th September 2026, members of the Imperial Band Club and their families were finally able to visit Eynsford for the first time.
The highlight of their visit was a memorable concert at the historic Lullingstone Castle in Kent. During this unique occasion, The High Commissioner of Malta to the UK – His Excellency Professor Stephen Montefort and Chair of Sevenoaks District Council – Councillor Margot McArthur – attended an official signing of a twinning agreement between the two bands.
The agreement marks the Bond of Friendship that has existing between the two bands for over 40 years and confirms their shared commitment to continue the advancement of music and preservation of their respective musical heritages and traditions.
