When retired banker Julian Holland was still based in Cairo, he happened to attend a concert by an all-female orchestra that left him somewhat perplexed. The reason behind this perplexity involved the way the conductor seemed to go off stage during the actual performance of every piece. “I had arrived late, after the concert started, [...]
So there was no Gideon and there was no Shark, but the usual suspects were ready to party and party they did. Yesterday’s Hairyamp gig proved that, while we do love it when foreign acts visit our shores, they are no longer a necessary ingredient. The right local bands deliver just as well, thank you [...]

Everytime I visit one of Malta’s temples (I do like to pretend I’m a tourist on a semi-regular basis – I don’t see why I shouldn’t enjoy our island’s best sites just ‘cos I’m a local) I have tried to imagine what it would feel like to attend a concert in these surroundings. Usually [...]
It is rare that we get this particular genre of music performed live in Malta, particularly by a band that has already enjoyed considerable success on the niche festival market of post-punk and darkwave. The upcoming performance by Vidi Aquam – an Italian trio that is set to bring their distinctive sound to V-Gen next [...]
