Winter Moods will be holding an intimate concert to celebrate their 30th anniversary, while supporting cancer charity Puttinu Cares.

The concert will be held on June 13 at Fort St Elmo, with the band promising a mix of their greatest hits and excerpts from their new album, and the audience set to be limited to 3,000.

“This time we wanted to do something different,” said Ivan Grech, the band’s front man, announcing the concert.

“We are going for a smaller venue, to be able to give our audience a more intimate performance. The newly restored Fort St Elmo is the perfect historical backdrop for our concert; it is spectacular.”

All proceeds from the concert will be donated to Puttinu Cares, which Mr Grech described as a charity close to the band’s heart.

“It has been our dream for a while to organise an event for Puttinu where they receive all the proceeds, not just the profits. Thanks to the partners who have joined us for this event, it will actually happen.”

Rennie Zerafa of Puttinu Cares said: “Puttinu has a special relationship with Ivan and Winter Moods, we have worked very closely together in recent years. Their Xemx/Miss You EP raised thousands of euros for our projects and we are looking forward to another unforgettable night on June 13.”

Earlier this year Winter Moods released their sixth album, The Journey, which has been hailed as their best work to date by music critics. The album includes hit songs Days of my Life, Everlasting and Flowers and Cash.

The concert is supported by BOV, Coca Cola, Jack Daniels, Hard Rock Café, Renault, BMIT, Nexos Lighting and Best Team Audio.

Tickets are available from www.ooii.com.mt at €15 for general standing and at €25 for the inner circle, which also includes a copy of The Journey.
