Organiser David Perotti explained that the seeds for this series of concerts were first planted in his own backyard during an event organised with his children and a few friends.

“Following the great feedback of that home gig, we said we should find a proper venue. Subsequently, we moved to Chateau Buskett and the rest is history,” he said.

Entrance is against a €7 donation with proceeds going towards Dr Klown, a non-governmental organisation which provides children hospitalised at Mater Dei with positive distraction and stress relief.

Doors open at 8pm. Table bookings are available and the restaurant and bar area will be open all evening long, while ample parking facilities are available at Chateau Buskett.
