14 "I walked in, and I saw me!" What better accolade to a Led Zeppelin tribute band, than this famous quote from the great Robert Plant him- self? Letz Zep is not only the best known and most successful tribute band – it is the offi- cial number one; Robert Plant gave the band his blessing when interviewed on VH1. Warner Music named Letz Zep as Europe's best tribute to Led Zeppelin - they are the record label for Led Zeppelin themselves. Moreover, Ticketmaster Organisation presented the band with The Most Popular and The Most Highly-Rated awards. Letz Zep performed at the official launch party for Led Zeppelin's Mothership CD, upon the personal invitation of Jimmy Page who attended one of their gigs and was im- pressed by their performance. Kerrang, the inf luential UK- based magazine devoted to hard rock and heav y metal, honoured Letz Zep with the immortal words, 'Better than a Led Zeppelin re-union.' The covers are as identical to the originals as makes no difference – their show is two solid hours of raw emotion – Stairway to Heaven, Kash- mir, Immigrant Song, Whole Lotta Love, Celebration Song, Black Dog, … songs from the entire recording career of Led Zeppelin. Truly, the song remains the same! Letz Zep is a world-famous tribute band and have fans who follow them from con- cert to concert overseas. They have toured over 35 countries, crossing conti- nents; Athens to Mexico City; Helsinki to Sydney; London to Moscow; Paris to Sao Paulo. The band's international core fan base spans three genera- tions. A recent full house concert in France also attracted over a thousand followers from Den- mark, Germany, and distant parts of France itself. This world-class band was one of the three in the sold- out, October 2018, Rock Legends Tour, the other two tribute bands being The Doors Alive and One Night of Queen. They will now perform at Aria Complex, tal-Balal, Mal- ta on March 30, 2019. Doors open at 9pm. Letz Zep will be supported by the Maltese Rock-Blues band, Vinyl Para- dise. The event is supported by Carlsberg, Taxify and the Malta Tourism Author- ity. Tickets are available from ShowsHappening or Face- book Letz-Zep Malta. maltatoday | SUNDAY • 24 FEBRUARY 2019 MUSIC Date: 24 th February 2019 European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development 2014-2020 PRE – ANNOUNCEMENT – SECOND CALL Measure 4.4: Support for non-productive investments linked to the achievement of agri-environment-climate objectives The Director General of the Funds and Programmes Division, within the Parliamentary Secretariat for European Funds and Social Dialogue has announced the re-launch of -measure 4.4 of the Rural Development Programme for Malta, 2014 – 2020.
