Save the date and be part of a remarkable evening celebrating the rich musical legacy of Strait Street, affectionately known as "The Gut." This special event features seven gifted musicians led by the renowned multi-instrumentalist and violin virtuoso George Puse’ Curmi. Together, they will perform original jazz compositions by the iconic composers and performers who once graced the stages of Strait Street during its golden era.

Strait Street was the heartbeat of Malta's entertainment scene, renowned for its electrifying nightlife and live music. Legendary artists such as Lee Spiteri, Joe Curmi Pusè, Paul Arnaud, Dominic Fiteni, and Vinnie Vella left an indelible mark on the island's musical heritage. This concert pays tribute to these trailblazing musicians, bringing their timeless compositions to life in a vibrant live setting.

Adding a fresh touch to the classics, Louise Ellul Bonici, who also penned lyrics for some of these pieces, will lend her voice to the performance. The evening will not only honor the past but also embrace the present, with contemporary music reflecting the evolving spirit of Strait Street today.
