Upon their return, they were greeted by Culture Minister Owen Bonnici, who commended the group for their performance and their hard work in the run up to the competition.

The Busker themselves also took to social media, posting a heart-warming video captioned: ‘First day away from each other’. The video showed the boys waving goodbye to each other before Dav. Jr sat down on the sofa alone to embrace ‘the void’ of nothing his band mates alongside him. 

However, they are already working on what is in store for their new chapter. ‘Tonight we rest, tomorrow we work’ they wrote.
