Noise@Connection or What to do on a winter afternoon
As a starter, here is the weather forecast for Christmas week. While a lot of Europe is covered in snow, it seems our little island is farther away than ever from getting getting a glimpse of the fluffy white stuff. How often have I told you that I miss it terribly?!
A bit of dreadful weather like we enjoyed last Sunday (boy, it was coooold!!) was just perfect to enjoy a cosy afternoon with noise@connection. Again. Our Sunday outing to the Duke has become a regular fixture on our weekend calendar!
noise@connection is a live music event – entrance is free of charge – taking place weekly at the Connection Bistro & Wine Bar in the winter season. Connection is tucked away inside a shopping mall in Victoria, called The Duke. Starting at around 4 pm, local musicians set the appropriate atmosphere for an enjoyable afternoon out with friends, but there’s more. Tapas are served for free throughout, and they are just begging to be washed down with Philip’s locally produced wine, and prices are very reasonable. (Although other Maltese and foreign wines are available, I strongly recommend to go for his Philip’s!)
The crowd is a mixed one, from the very young to the, um… a little more mature (no prizes for guessing which crowd I’m part of!).
The music is varied, too; covers of Eagles, Cold Play, Leonard Cohen, Plain White Tees or even Pink Floyd (just a very few mentioned off the top of my head) are performed, going hand in hand with the various artists’ own songs. On alternating Sundays, local and foreign DJ’s lend yet another musical angle to the eclectic melange that is noise@connection.

I am so jealous. Here in Brussels the snow isn’t so much white fluffy stuff as grey slush or black ice, and I hate it! The weather has “warmed up” to the point that we had rain instead of snow yesterday, but it didn’t wash away all the snow and with minus temperatures overnight, everything refreezes. Makes life very difficult, I spent 2 of my 3 days in London worrying how I was going to get back after hearing what happened to later trains than mine, and most of the 4th trying to get here. But I was lucky, some poor people are without power for Christmas. Anyway, hope you have a good one whatever the weather is doing!
Merry Christmas Sabine to you and yours!
