So, the month of December is just around the corner, and we all know what that means, don’t we? Yes… yes… Christmas, big meals, presents, but never mind all that! It’s Teatru Unplugged time again and this year’s edition is packed solid with a mixture of new faces and familiar names who will serve up a bubbly evening of full-on entertainment in the TU tradition.

This year’s edition, sponsored by Global Capital, Malta Tourism Authority, ChooseToTravel.com, Apple IMC Malta, Styleclinic and Bay Radio 89.7FM, will maintain the balance of fresh talent and established artists that has made every edition since the event was launched in 1998 an outstanding success. It is no secret that Teatru Unplugged has become a keenly anticipated appointment with the Maltese public, and it is hardly surprising that ticket sales are in fact keeping the Maltese idiom “jinbieghu bhal pastizzi” very much alive!

This year’s line-up more than matches previous editions and includes Gozo-based duo Chasing Pandora, nu-folk band Brikkuni, rock band Muzzle, Ira Losco and the inimitable Gianni along with his band Rug for extra clout. The cherry on the cake will come courtesy of the zany ZOO team, who will, among other things, compere the evening in their own unique style!

Global Capital Teatru Unplugged 9 will be held at the Manoel Theatre on December 1, 2 and 3. Tickets (Lm4, Lm6 and Lm7.50) can be purchased online from www.teatrumanoel.com, by e-mail at [email protected], or by calling 2124 6389.
