Project Description

The team behind this initiative includes several music enthusiasts from various genres, each one having been touched by DJ Lito’s passion for the local music scene, which he supported wholeheartedly all of his life. While each person might wish to commemorate Lito in his or her own way, the news of a live tribute concert triggered an overwhelming response from a good number of bands and musicians from a variety of genres, all eager to be part of this special event.

The local music scene will get together for “Ir-Rock It-Tajjeb”, the Official Tribute Concert on Saturday, July 16 at Aria Complex, the event featuring an amazing line-up of local acts who will be performing live. Working hand in hand with the concert organizers, this project has the aim of creating a tangible souvenir of the event, and what better way to do it if not by producing a quality recording of all the performances? With the event’s organizing committee on board, this project proposes to film the concert and record the live audio, which material will then be professionally edited for release on DVD along with a CD compilation featuring a selection of tracks by Maltese bands and artists.

The plan is to also produce an amount of commemorative T-shirts in conjunction with the Ir-Rock It-Tajjeb Festival, which merchandise shall also be printed as part of the campaign. The T-Shirt will be printed on front with the festival artwork and on the back there will be all the logos of each participating band. Further to this, Maltese artist Ivan Filletti has also kindly donated 500 copies of his latest album to the first 500 backers of the crowd-funding campaign. Thank you so much Mr. Filletti!

The primary aim of this campaign is to raise enough funding to film the DVD, which is where the lion’s share of the costs lie. If this target is reached, the event can be filmed to enable the production of the DVD+CD compilation package, for which every effort will be made to release within the shortest time-frame possible without compromising the quality.

A spin-off release party for backers to pick up their rewards is also in the planning, and for those who prefer to receive their rewards by post, such as international backers, shipping expenses will be added onto your original pledge.

No tickets are required since the entrance for the concert is free. However, donations will be accepted at the door, and all proceeds will go to the Community Chest Fund.

How do I pledge?

All you need to do is create an account on the Zaar Website and choose your pledge and reward. The website will guide you accordingly.

What is my money in aid of?

We calculated our total goal of €7500.00 to cover the costs necessary to deliver the products we are proposing. Any monies over that amount generated from the crowdfunding campaign will go to the Community Chest Fund, including also all eventual future revenues from the sales of the products.

If we reach our goal we will manufacture 1000 copies of the Ir-Rock it-Tajjeb CD&DVD package, including an extra number of T-Shirts, which proceeds will be in aid of Community Chest Fund.

What will I receive in return?

Depending on your pledge, as a backer of the project you will receive the relevant pledge reward as described. Also, the first 500 backers will receive a copy of Ivan Filletti's lastest album.

How can I get a copy of the DVD and CD once I have backed the campaign?

You can either request to receive your copy by post or you can pick up from the Release Party we will be holding once this project is successfully funded. We will treat all requests individually, so if anyone from outside of Malta wishes to contribute, we will absorb the shipping expenses and send over your reward.

Will I be able to wear the T-Shirt at the gig on the 16th of July?

Yes, this is our plan. This is our first mini-aim for this campaign. For us to be able to achieve this, we need to get a minimum of 15% funded in the shortest time possible.

Who is organising the entire project?

This project and the affiliated events have been organised spontaneously by a collective of individuals and organisations. We have set up the "Ir-Rock it-Tajjeb" Committee to oversee the events and this campaign in a transparent manner.

The members and teams from the committee overseeing this crowdfunding campaign are:

Nigel Camilleri from NNG Promotions
