Lewis Capaldi To Take Indefinite Break From Touring
Jun 27 2023 Share

After an emotional performance at Glastonbury, which saw a massive crowd of fans help him finish the set due to his Tourette’s Syndrome intervening, Lewis Capaldi announced an ‘indefinite’ break from touring. 

The 26-year-old took to Instagram to thank everyone for having him and singing along when he needed it. ‘It really does mean the world’, he wrote. 

He said that he used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and that he’d hoped 3 weeks away would ‘sort him out’. 

‘I’m still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come’. 

‘I’m so incredibly sorry to everyone who had planned to come to a show before the end of the year but I need to feel well to perform at the standard you deserve’, he concluded. 

‘I’ll be back as soon as I possibly can’.

Why Jubilee Group? Find out and celebrate on 25th anniversary
Jun 27 2023 Share

Celebrating 25 years of operation, the Jubilee Group has emerged as a true visionary in the culinary industry in Malta. Founded by the Scicluna brothers – Alex, Mario, and Anthony – the group’s journey began in 1998 with the opening of Café Jubilee in Victoria, Gozo. 

With a clear vision and unwavering determination, the brothers created a unique ambiance and delectable food that quickly won the hearts of locals and tourists alike. This success paved the way for the expansion of the Jubilee Group, with additional Café Jubilee locations in Valletta and Gzira, as well as the introduction of Jubilee Foods, which offers frozen versions of their popular dishes and gourmet delicacies.

The Jubilee Group’s forward-thinking approach led to further innovation with the creation of Ayu, a restaurant in Gzira that celebrates international cuisines and cultural diversity. The Candy Café, another venture by the group, brought a sweet and nostalgic experience to Gozo, offering a wide range of candies, cakes, and quality coffee. Complementing their culinary brands, Moor and Murella Restaurant in Marsalforn’s Menqa added to the group’s diverse offerings.

To mark their 25th anniversary, the Jubilee Group is celebrating their roots and connections to their childhood. They are organising a series of events, including a dinner at Murella Restaurant to honour the unbreakable bond between the brothers. Additionally, they are inviting 25 children from Victoria Primary School, where the brothers grew up, to a party at the Candy Café.

With a fresh new logo representing all their brands, the Jubilee Group reaffirms their commitment to staying ahead of the curve and embracing future challenges.

Their visionary approach, ability to adapt, and dedication to quality have made them a true innovator in the culinary scene in Malta. As they celebrate this significant milestone, the Jubilee Group continues to create unforgettable dining experiences and inspire others to visualise opportunities.
