It’s 11 o’clock and again we meet outside our “place”. The atmosphere goes hand in hand with the morning hours. Our crew is stacking the gear, the rest are slowly dropping in. After the morning coffee we take our time loading ourselves on the bus as well. The day is no different from those we have had so many times before, nothing out of the ordinary. But still today is a special day. All of a sudden the speakers on the bus scream “Happy birthday, Boštjan!” It’s Boštjan’s birthday today. And trust us, you cannot wish for a better birthday present than a concert.

It takes us about an hour and a half to get to Sevnica, more precisely up to the Sevnica castle. It’s a stunning castle with a gorgeous well in the middle of the courtyard and a magnificent view. The event promoters have outdone themselves, exceeded all expectations. Backstage is great, the food so delicious. As if they knew that for one of us today is a special day.

The sound check goes smoothly – if we neglect the fact it has been delayed due to a wedding in the courtyard. No problem, there’s still enough time before the concert starts.

It’s about 8 PM now and the program begins with Carina, followed by Jezus Osebno. Crowds start to gather, the atmosphere is just right – rock & roll and some fire-breathers and torch-jugglers up on the castle wall. Next up is Gatuzo and it’s about time we got ready.

It’s 11:20 PM, sounds of B Mashina are heard from the stage. The atmosphere is perfect, the courtyard full. A “Happy Birthday” song sung to Boštjan by a crowd of a few thousand is a present one can only wish for. The concert our drummer will definitely remember for the rest of his life goes through as planned.

After the concert we toast to Boštjan as we should – in the circle of our closest friends. Happy birthday, Boštjan!

Thanks to our crew, the event promoters and most of all thanks to our fans for all your support.
