Beware

(taken during a walk in the park)

A snippet

from the opening of Martin Eccles's sound installation No. 2 'no trace'

and one from the reading of Mitja Lovše's play Hotel Room. 

From a performance

in Stara Elektrarna

to an exhibition opening in Galerija Alkatraz....

I think I'm slowly settling in on this particular Friday night. 

The Tiger Lillies

 A few years have passed since I last photographed The Tiger Lillies in concert...

and in a hall in which everybody was sitting down, my friend decided to go up to the stage and have a closer look and dance a bit... Hurrah for him! 

Psycho

in my favourite theatre even though I did feel a bit of an outsider this time.

My mum

catching up on some reading at the opening of the exhibition

and the drummer from Barking Jacqueline later on in the night...

Dance and music improvisation

at Neforma 74, with the musician Andrej Fon and dancer Anita Wach.

The first dance rehearsal upon my return

was Enya's (I know, before we were both in London and now we are both in Ljubljana - how weird is that) new performance Blue Ink with Jerca Rožnik Novak and Gabor Ivanov in PTL. 

after which I went to Maja Delak's performance Just for Today in Stara Elektrarna. 

Carina

have a new LP and thy had a concert to let us all know about it.

On the way to a dance performance

I stopped at a performance in which the artists were mining cryptocurrency by meditating.

It is absolutely wunderbar

 to be in the position

 where I can photograph them again. 

I went to photograph

the first performance since my return to Ljubljana. Looking forward to many more :).

Oscar Jerome

in Rough Trade West, when I was still in London.

Been to two festivals in one day

and as you can imagine I have seen and photographed way too many acts, so here are just a few

 Maddy Bean Haenlein

 Nadia Rose

 Ras Makist

 and the poetess I-sis

Always nice to see

Hannah and Nick

50 years after Nick Drake released his debut album

there was a night of his songs with Jason Umbrellabird

 Dark Globes

 Tony Peppard

 Siobhan Parr

and Peter Bruntnell. 

And my first time to The Dome in Tuffnel Park

 where I saw Toodles & the Hectic Pity (for the first time) 

 and Jeffrey Lewis (not for the first time)

and one of the two bolts that were on stage with him. 

My first visit to the Notting Hill Arts Club

 where I saw VŌS

 Aaron Porter

and Sonia Stein

Frank Bowlin's

exhibition in Tate Britain

 A monodrama 

with live music.

Flamenco

with the warm-up from their friend Worldwide Welshman & Beyond. 

Longest Day Festival

Yup, it is that time of the year again, and the longest day of the year is here (well by the time I actually got round to writing this post it had already gone... This year I spent it with

 Dominic Silvani

Lucy Kitt

 Prima Queen (there were more of them, but this is the photo I chose for the blog)

Jack Harris

 Gabi Garbutt was there with her band (and sister)

while Ned Roberts did a solo performance

 as did Lorraine Wood

while Our Man in the Field was actually hiding in the basement

the main focus in Holloway Jug Band was of course on the man with a jug

and Gabriel Moreno came with his band and pocketful of poetry

 Forty Elephant Gang forgot the elephants at home (unfortunately)

 Rob Corcoran started wrapping up the evening

and Robert Chaney brought it all to the end. 

(And all of this - and more (I just couldn't see all of the acts) - took place on the three floors of the Betsy Trotwood)
