A Thing of Beauty
2025-11-07 07:30 - 14:30 | Banca Giuratale, Pjazza Indipendenza, Victoria, Gozo, Malta
This time, I drew inspiration from my favourite poet, John Keats, quoting the opening words of his timeless line: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” These four words perfectly capture what I strive for in my art—to create beauty that heals both body and soul. Choosing the painting to represent this exhibition was no easy task, but one piece ultimately stood out. “Lights in the Dark”—a vibrant, life-filled work painted entirely with my fingers—depicts cars waiting on a cold, rainy night, their headlights blazing and reflecting on the wet tarmac. Yet, when viewed from afar, each person finds their own meaning within it. Later, I recreated the same scene using brushes, and though the result was quite different, it proved equally pleasing in its own unique way.

The Car Horn Revolution
2025-11-12 10:30 - 11:30 | Gozo Central Public Library, St Francis Square, Victoria, Gozo, VCT1335, Malta
Join adventure and crime fiction author A. J. Aberford for an engaging talk and book-signing event featuring The Car Horn Revolution, the sixth instalment in the popular Inspector George Zammit series. Readers and fans are warmly invited to attend this special occasion and hear firsthand insights into the latest thrilling chapter of the series.
Tony Gartland (writing as AJ Aberford) has enjoyed a varied career, having been both a corporate and banking lawyer, owning and running a private investment company and founding a leading Yorkshire craft brewery. Changing direction again, he is now the successful author of six books in the Inspector George Zammit crime and thriller series.
Although Tony still keeps his house in Yorkshire, he lives primarily in Malta, which is the inspiration for his Inspector George Zammit series of books. Upon moving to the island in 2015, he soon became enthralled by the culture and history of the island that acts as a bridge between Europe and North Africa.
Malta’s position at the sharp end of the migrant crisis, as well as the rapid growth of its commercial and offshore-financial sectors, provide a rich backdrop for his writing. The culture, politics and geography of the southern Mediterranean continually throws-up surprises in this fascinating part of the world, nothing is ever what it seems, with the lines between right and wrong often blurred and twisted.
Into the middle of this scene, the author’s writing career began, and readers were first introduced to an unwilling-hero, namely his character Inspector George Zammit, a Maltese policeman combatting crime, corruption and terrorism in the southern Mediterranean.
Since late 2024 and the publication of ‘The Car Horn Revolution’ – the sixth Inspector George Zammit book, the author took some time out from George’s world, to pursue two other projects, but another George book is planned for 2026!
The author is married and has two grown-up sons, as well as grandchildren. He is a keen cook, an adventurous traveller, a cyclist and swimmer.
