Concert in Velika Polana

12 pictures

And we're there. The last out of this year's concerts will be played in Velika Polana on already traditional festival Polanski dnevi.


After the morning "ritual" we go on a way to Velika Polana. It takes almost 3 hours to get there so during the trip we watch the documentary Flight666 which describes the Iron Maiden band tour.


The ride ends without any major complications and quite fast. After getting to the scene the equipment gets unpacked as numerous times before, next is sound check and lunch. Close to 11 pm we get on stage. The concert starts flawless and there's a proper atmosphere, local people showed once again how good and crazy they can be if the atmosphere is right.


After the concert we stopped in the backstage and said hi to some friends and fans. Next was making photos and signing autograms and then some food and of course also some beer. We return to Ljubljana at around 7 o'clock in the morning but there's no sign of any awful tiredness because we are still full of energy from the concert. Said so, some of use decide to drink a morning coffee in Bobi bar and sit a bit in the sun. The gathering ends at 10 in the morning, we say farewell to the crew and jump to rest. Summer is not over yet but we also deserve some vacation after an incredible productive year.

 

Thanks to all people who showed up, to the crew and to our fans and of course to all the organizers.


See you soon!

Concert in Vinica

12 pictures

One of the remaining concerts of the summer season is SchengenFest, a
concert taking place on the very border with Croatia, in Vinica.

 

Just like so many times before, we gather at our place, repeating that same
ritual, which this time I won't even go describing.

 

The road to Vinica is a long one but most of all it is a winding one, which
gives some of the team members a hard time and results in us making as many
as three urgent stops. Yeah well, not everyone can take a bus ride across
the winding roads of Bela Krajina. :)

 

Once we get to Vinica, to the Katra camping site to be precise, we all are
amazed by the number of people spending their holiday there - the camping
site is packed full! And when we get to the stage, we are astonished for a
second time - we hardly expected this big a venue at a camping site.

After sound check we all go to the beach to cool down a bit as the
temperature in Vinica has gone up well over 30 degrees. Beach time is
followed by lunch time and after lunch we scatter around the camp, some of
us finding a cool shade, the others heading back to the beach.

 

The concert starts at 10:45 and the venue fills up to the fullest. The
energy flow is great. The temperature has gone down.

 

We spend some time backstage after the concert, which ends up lasting till
the morning hours. On our way back to Ljubljana some have problems once
again but heck, that too is part of the rock'n'roll life. :)

 

We wish to give our thanks mostly to the promoter. The Vinica concert was in
this respect truly the best! The guys really outdid themselves. Thanks also
to all who came to see us and of course to our loyal crew guys.
