The popularity of band clubs in Malta is indicated by their proliferation, and prominance of these clubs in the main squares of Malta's towns and villages. Għaqda Banda Żejtun (Żejtun Band Club) founded in 1933 by Nikol Attard, this band club which also includes the Pandora Theatre is situated next to the commemorative Cross. Moulded in a relatively more modern tradition, its musical repertoire has a popular and wide appeal. In 1986 the Żejtun Band placed first in the National Band Festival. Like other band clubs it also provides a number of indoor sport activities, all year round.
