Just a few months after seeing Tangerine Dream headline the Friday night at A New Day Festival in south-west England, I was lucky enough to get to see them again in Warsaw, Poland:
Tangerine Dream really are a wonderful audio-visual experience live:
Really enjoyed Dolphin Dance; Horizon Parts I and II; Mothers of Rain etc., plus White Eagle and Stratosfear (a fantastic set), of course:
Can't get enough of Tangerine Dream live, to be honest.
Mid-November, I had the pleasure of catching Manchester band, IST IST, at the Hybrydy in Warsaw.
Always nice to catch a band live on a Friday night.
Emily and It Stops Where It Starts were my two favourite tunes from a great set.
Truth be known, I only found out about this gig a week beforehand, so glad I did.
October and November went by in a flash.
Mid-October saw a very dignified and quiet procession go by outside:
It lasted for about half an hour with thousands of people filing past:
It was heading towards the church of St. Stanislaus Kostka (Warsaw) where Father Jerzy Popiełuszko is buried to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the latter's martyrdom by communist secret police.
The march was solemn and dignified.
Burying nuts and other bits of food for the winter months ahead, I guess.
At first, Kotek didn't know what to make of his tunnel toy, but he soon made his way inside it:
To be honest, this was the first time I'd drunk Faxe in the white can for 20 years or so.
And I'm not sure if I've ever drunk Faxe Pilsner (the green can) ever before:
But both beers went down an absolute treat, being neither bitter nor sweet, something profoundly in between, both really refreshing drinks.
This yellow-leaf tree in the dark seemed to symbolise the growing onset of autumn for me.
Despite the beautifully coloured trees, autumn is flu season, of course.
