Tisbit, the much-loved percussion-focused concert presented by The Clef House, returns for its fifth edition on Friday 6th June 2025 at 8:00pm, this time taking to the stage at the prestigious Teatru Manoel in Valletta.

This marks the first time the event is being held in Malta, following four successful editions in Gozo.

Curated by artistic director Michael Camilleri, Tisbit has established itself as a platform where percussion students can showcase their talent while collaborating with both emerging and well-established artists from across the country.

This year’s edition is set to be the largest yet, featuring a record 40 performers on stage – a true celebration of rhythm, creativity, and collaboration.

Among the featured performers are Eliza Stellini, Elisa Buttigieg, Hannah, and Sarah Bonnici, supported by a talented live band. In true Tisbit style, the audience will also play an active part in the energy of the evening – with the concert designed to be an immersive, shared experience, rather than a one-way performance.

This special edition is being held with the support of the Valletta Cultural Agency, which continues to promote forward-thinking and inclusive artistic initiatives.

Tickets are available via the Teatru Manoel box office and online. This promises to be an evening of vibrant music and unique performance. Not to be missed!

New App TM Roads Will Ease Roadwork Info For Everyone!

New App TM Roads Will Ease Roadwork Info For Everyone!
Jun 2 2025 Share

The Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works, Chris Bonett, has officially launched TM Roads, a digital platform designed to improve the coordination and transparency of administrative processes related to roadworks and infrastructure.

Previously, applying for infrastructure works involved a complex and bureaucratic process, often leading to poor coordination between the various entities involved.

TM Roads addresses these challenges by bringing all stakeholders together on a single platform, while also informing the public about upcoming works, permits, and related communication. This is expected to reduce disruptions and inconvenience for residents.

Developed in collaboration with the UK-based Transport Research Laboratory, the platform draws on international expertise and encourages a cultural shift in how mobility is approached and managed.

Minister Bonett described the initiative as a key part of the government’s wider Reshaping Our Mobility vision, highlighting the importance of moving from planning to real implementation.

He said the platform demonstrates the government’s commitment to providing practical solutions that meet public expectations.

Transport Malta CEO Kurt Farrugia added that TM Roads would enhance communication with the public, allowing individuals to register their interest and receive alerts about nearby roadworks, enabling better planning.

The platform aims to serve as a model of coordinated governance, reduce bureaucracy, and deliver more efficient services.
