G7 Events’ First of May special at Café del Mar is a sign that summer is finally here!

Apr 25 2022

From the very moment temperatures in Malta begin to increase and the population senses a slight change in weather, the flip flops come out, the “ġej is-sajf” quotes begin to proliferate and party season officially begins.

In appropriate fashion, leading events and club night organisers G7 Events are coming together with Café del Mar to put on an incredible First of May Special featuring international DJ Topic. The sunset spectacular will welcome one of the most prolific hitmakers of the moment, with familiar hits like ‘Breaking Me’, ‘Your Love (9PM) and so many more.

The much-awaited day-to-night event is absolutely free and kicks off at 5PM, with familiar local DJs Carlo Gerada, Debrii, D-Rey, Koroma and Miggy joining the bill for some special sunset fun.

For many, the May first event is the first sign of summer’s impending arrival and after two whole summers of waiting, parties officially back and Maltese revellers are ready for it.

Are you ready for summer?

Following his performance on Muzika Muzika last weekend, Maltese singer Franklin Calleja revealed that this was his last time performing in a musical competition.

Franklin has been a familiar face in the local music scene, participating in the Eurovision Song Contest as well ax X-Factor Malta. For Muzika Muzika, Franklin performed ‘Wennisni’, going on to write on Facebook that he will be looking forward to new material but not competitions.

He thanked everyone who supported his journey, and congratulated all those who contested as well as the winner Kurt Calleja.

He said that he will miss competitions, but that he believes that he does not need anymore jury opinion who might not appreciate his music as much as he believes in what he is doing. ‘Music is wonderful and unites us, and I will therefore continue doing what I love without competing.

National record broken twice in one day by Maltese female relay team

Apr 25 2022

As they engaged in a training camp in Italy, Malta’s national female relay team not only crushed the national record, but went on to do it a second time in the same day.

The team was comprised of star athletes Claire Azzopardi, Charlotte Wingfield, Carla Scicluna and Janet Richard. The four managed to achieve a record time of 46.07 seconds in the 4x100m relay.

However, this was not enough for the four powerhouses as they managed to lower the time to a whopping 45.80 seconds in the second run. The previous national record was 46.24 seconds which was in place for seven years.

The reduction of an entire minute was a great achievement as in such sport, every millisecond counts. And the athletes made sure all of them were accounted for professionally.

The athletes, who were training at Agropoli in Italy ahead of the Mediterranean Games in June, secured their spot for the games. They will be taking place in Oran, Algeria. Well done all!

Apr 25 2022

As Malta braces for the Special Olympics Invitational Games this May, singer and song writer Ira Losco unveiled the official song: Going For Gold.

Addressing a press conference, presenter John Bundy revealed that Ira Losco had always wanted to create an anthem for this special event which was constantly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Collaborating with producer Howard Keith, the local pop star produced the theme for the event to praise and encourage the athletes competing.

President of the Special Olympics Malta and wife of the Prime Minister Lydia Abela also spoke at the event. She went on to say that the organisation of these games in Malta would give a great opportunity for our athletes who get to compete on home soil.

With a music video highlighting some of the world’s most talented special olympians, Ira Losco said that she is not the protagonist here. She said that the spotlight belongs to the athletes as they continue to break stereotypes and challenges.
