Two days before this gig, I checked out Bulgarian band, Irfan, and, immediately decided to go and see them.
I just quickly took to the band's wonderful style of music (what I would kind of describe as Bulgarian Folk music with a deep, moving sense of Byzantine-type melancholia/tragedy).
In the couple of days before the concert, I became familiar with quite a few Irfan tunes (Hagia Sophia; The Cave of Swimmers; Buruna etc.),
and it was an honour to hear such (and many other) beautiful songs live.
Think that the tunes the band did from their new album, 'Roots', went down really well with an appreciative and, at times, entranced audience.
