Last Friday it felt like the festival season already started in Maribor - there were 3 really cool concerts at 3 different venues in town and luckily, not at the same time! :) The first one was of a young Croatian and very talented singer/songwriter Dunja Ercegović, known also as Lovely Quinces, that I was eager to see.

My second gig of that evening (after very lovely Lovely Quinces) was something completely different...

Our songs, your dreams

The only rock band in the world that played both in North Korea and South Korea came to Zagreb together with RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra with a brilliant multivisual programme titled "Our songs, your dreams".

Outdoor concert of Jardier in a beautiful atrium of Vetrinjski dvor in the centre of Maribor attracted quite a bunch of people!

One of my favourite Slovenian bands playing hell of a concert!

One of my favourite regional artists performing in a packed club with permission to shoot on stage - what’s not to like? :)

First edition of the Back To The - Future Jazz festival, organised by Gramofonoteka team, included two nights of, well, future jazz music - sadly, I was there only the first night.

For me, this was one of my favourite club gigs of 2017, for many various reasons!

Happy Ol' McWeasel are the best Slovenian Irish punk band, that celebrated their 10th anniversary and St. Patrick's day combined this Saturday in their hometown Maribor. And what a show it was! :)

Their intelligent, witty, ironical and satirical lyrics were actually quite a revelation to me when I moved to Slovenia more than decade ago and were one of my first Slovenian bands that I truly enjoyed while I learned the language. I still do.

This past weekend I was very happy and privileged, to document 32nd Winter dance school (32. Zimska plesna šola) - my third in a roll - that was organised by JSKD and held in Plesna izba Maribor. Full of very talented young dancers and their great mentors, this workshop was again, just as last two years, a joy to photograph! :)

My personal concert and festivals photo favourites of the year 2016

It's time for another annual recapitulation of the best moments in the last year! :)

Regardless of how often do you go and listen to the live music, this is something you don’t see very often: twenty seven guitars (!!) - on stage!

Slovenian composer, pianist and producer Tine Grgurevič together with Mario Babojelić - UM on guitar and effects gave us a great night of electronic music.

Opening for the Placebo who are on tour celebrating their 20 year long career, The Joy Formidable were actually the reason I went to Zagreb last night...
