Cultural Events Brand (CEB Malta) kicks off with launch event: Electrifying Elmo The concept behind CEB Malta is to promote culture by hosting events in Malta and Gozo at locations which are seen as ‘unpopular’ or simply never get the exposure they deserve. Malta is an island with outstanding locations, such as Chinese Garden of Serenity, Gnien l-Gharusa tal-Mosta, Hastings Gardens and many others… But, sadly, some of these places haven’t even been heard of by many locals, let alone tourists. CEB Malta aims to put these places on the…read more

Il Volo Are Coming

Posted by in Music

In 10 days’ time, Il Volo will be serenading Maltese audiences. And I, for one, just can’t wait! There’s something incredibly intriguing about Il Volo… I don’t know if it’s the fact that they are still in their twenties or the fact that their voice is absolutely breathtaking – particularly when they perform together – but considering the army of fans they have amassed since their Ti lascio una canzone days, I am clearly not the only one who thinks so. Their first major single, Grande Amore, was one of those…read more

Posted by in Artists, Music

As Airport Impressions are set to perform at Earth Garden, we have a quick chat with the band’s guitarist Johann Schembri. Few bands have managed to make it as big or as quickly as Airport Impressions have; in fact, it’s quite hard to believe that their first album, Minutes of a Lifetime, was released just two years ago. Since then the band (made up of Errol Sammut, Johann Schembri, Chris Curmi and Steve Farrugia) has cemented its status as one of the best and one of the most in-demand on the local scene –…read more

The Archaeology of Acoustics

Posted by in History, Museums, Music

Ancient sounds and the science behind them: Malta is the seat of the world’s first archaeoacoustics conference. As anyone who knows me knows: I am a total history buff and watch at least three solid hours of documentaries a day (usually first thing in the morning and while I’m snoozing off late at night); so when I was invited to the opening of an archaeoacoustics conference here in Malta I got pretty excited. Organised by Linda Eneix, a conference organiser who is based in the US, this conference has put…read more

The Promising Andi Attard

Posted by in Music

And Andi Attard is one of them. At 17-years-old, she has written, composed the music for and performed her first song. ‘We Can Try’, which you can listen to in the video above, was produced and mixed by Peter Borg at Railway Studios, and having been released just two months…read more
