Seeing Infinity Song in Warsaw Last Friday

 Yeah, this time last week, I was watching the wonderful Infinity Song at the Hybrydy Club in Warsaw:


 Find this band's music incredibly uplifting, especially tunes like No One Comes Close and The Sunshine (a truly beautiful, therapeutic song).

 

But the highlight of the night was the 13-14 minute version of Slow Burn.

Will readily admit that a few months ago, I'd never heard of Infinity Song but I saw that they were playing Warsaw; checked them out; found them incredibly harmonious/melodic; and could not waste a chance of seeing them live.
 
The picture below shows the band dancing with members of the crowd (fantastic band-audience interaction): 
 

But for an almost 60-year-old bloke like myself, I really enjoyed watching things from the back with a few decent beers.
 
And after the band finished a thoroughly engaging 90-minute set, Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust started being played (this caught the atmosphere perfectly as Infinity Song remind me of that kind of profoundly innocent music that accompanied the late 60s/early 70s such as Joan Baez, Godspell etc.).
 
And after the concert, being greeted by a lit-up Palace of Culture:

Old Friends in Eastern Poland


 Catching up with some old friends in Eastern Poland.


 The koniky (small ponies) that are native around the Zwierzyniec area.

Had last seen them many years ago as they were being fed on Christmas Day.

A Nice Shandy

 

Mixing a 3.5% beer + 2% shandy = 2.75% shandy, very tasty indeed.

I'm not that far off 60 now so drinking shandy is a kind of good idea, getting the best of both worlds (and no hangover the day after).

New Friends in Eastern Poland


 Plenty of new friends in Eastern Poland who were interested in the honey on the window sill.

With their mother making sure that they kept in order:

Alfa Mist - Warsaw Łazienki Park (27-06-25)

 Last Friday night at Łazienki Park with Alfa Mist:

Full credit to the band and crowd, despite the incessant rain, this was a great gig.

 

Foreword; Teki; Organic Rust etc., beautiful tunes just flew by, it was so good, I hardly noticed the rain, even found myself jiving around.


 Fantastic musicians and a beautiful setting (saw Judith Hill here last year which I also really enjoyed).

Bubbles Above the Metro

 

Coming back from Alanis Morisette at the Torwar in Warsaw last week, bubbles above the Politechnika Metro station.


 Not often I say it, but I loved the advertisement, it just lit up an ordinary scene.

Small Birds Helping Me Eat My Rice

 

Had the pleasant experience of some small birds helping me to eat my rice at a Vietnamese place in Warsaw.


 Both small birds enjoyed rice like they would bread and kept coming back for more.


 I like the Vietnamese places for the green tea as well as the food, and now the great company.
