ROCKNA Live & Unplugged is a 13-track compilation featuring live recordings culled from an extensive collection of live sessions recorded during the weekly ROCKNA radio show, which is broadcast every Friday at 7.15pm CET on Radio 101. The digital album was officially launched during a special edition of ROCKNA broadcast on November 2, 2012 (see sleevenotes).

The idea behind this compilation was to share some of the music that has played an integral part in making ROCKNA's role in promoting the local music scene all the more significant ever since the radio show started airing in July 2010.

The album is available as a free download here.

In 1992, one year after Radio 101 had been launched, the station released Watching The Music, a 10-track compilation CD featuring 2 tracks each from 5 different bands that were then active on the local scene. The compilation, a spin-off from a programme focusing on Maltese bands that Radio 101 was broadcasting at the time, was a first for Maltese rock. It was also a welcome addition to the limited number of local CD releases available at the time, and to continue the tradition, I felt it fitting to release a compilation culled from ROCKNA’s archive, this time recorded not in a proper studio, but live and unplugged during the show itself.
