Aging rock stars
Sabine Cassar Alpert in Gozo who blogs here writes about three former mega rock stars, who might "still be good enough to squeeze some money out of Maltese fans before vanishing into oblivion":
..On the other hand, aging rock fans (yep, that’s me ) will be over the moon to be given the last few chances to enjoy a renaissance of their youth before that, too… um, yes, vanishes into oblivion! Just a few days ago Roger Waters’ concert was announced for the 28th June 2006, taking place at the Luxol Grounds in Naxxar. He’s being brought over by NnG Promotions, who also gave us the Classic Rock Concert (featuring Roger Hodgson, Jethro Tull, Steve Hackett and Fish) two years ago.
Sting’s concert on the 6th June (also at Luxol Grounds) was the first great Malta gig to be announced earlier this year (see my blog from February), is being organised by NnG Promotions as well. Today’s Times of Malta, finally, brought the news of Sir Bob Geldof coming to Malta on the 10th July 2006. According to the article, Geldof has “pledged his support to YMCA, and the Malta event aims to raise awareness of the plight of the homeless in Malta.” So apart from enjoying yourself, you’ll help a good cause by attending! The venue is still to be announced.







Hello Robert,
Thanks for plugging my blog once again!
Just to put one thing right: you put the first sentence slightly out of context - I said that cynics would be saying the trio were aging stars good enough for Malta etc. etc.
Huge difference. I'm a cynic at times but not in this case. I'm happy they are honouring Malta with their gigs!!! :)
Hi Sabine,
I am certain readers will get your general drift.
And I am sure that those who welcome the arrival of Sting, Roger Waters and Bob Geldof ( as well as Minghi) outnumber the cynics :)
Isn't it Bob Geldof on the 28th June and Roger Waters on the 10th July?
Yes Kenneth - as you already and rightly pointed out on my blog (and I corrected it in the meantime!) :D
I probably focussed too hard to get those 3 dates into the right order...
