Midge Ure Live at Warsaw Progresja 4th May 2018

Was nice to catch up with Midge Ure and his band again last night.

Like many others I guess, I was mainly there for the old Ultravox tunes and thoroughly enjoyed 'One Small Day'; 'Vienna'; 'Hymn'; 'Dancing with Tears in My Eyes'; 'The Voice';  'All Stood Still'; 'Passing Strangers' etc.

The Ultravox tunes take me back to my mid-teenage/late teenage years so they have a special deep meaning for me.

 

Eastern Poland: The Lilacs

In eastern Poland, the beautiful-smelling lilacs  and other interesting-looking flowers are now fully out.

Eastern Poland: The Storks Return

Nice to see that the storks have returned to eastern Poland from Africa:

People in eastern Poland view it as a sign of good fortune to have the storks nest near them:

Paul's Possums

An interesting shot that my brother Paul sent round Facebook.  He lives in Sydney and these two possums have taken up residence in his back garden.

Warsaw: Passing the Georgian Restaurant

Had seen the signs to the Georgian restaurant a few weeks ago, so it was nice to see what it actually looked like while making my way down to see Submotion Orchestra at the Klub Niebo this week.

Yeah, the Georgian restaurant looks quite appetising so I must try it out some time.

Submotion Orchestra Live at Warsaw Niebo 26th April 2018

First saw Submotion Orchestra a few years ago at Warsaw Basen and got the chance to catch up with them last night at Warsaw Niebo.

Wasn't really in the mood for a concert last night but thoroughly enjoyed the Submotion Orchestra set and felt uplifted throughout and after it.

Really like the 'Kites' album so it was great to hear tunes like the title track and 'Prism' live.

With Ruby Wood's rich vocals, the song 'Kites' actually reminds me of The Carpenters, it's that good.

Really like bands like Submotion Orchestra who can make a concert a dreamscape-type experience.

Kotek Trying To Open a Door

A few funny shots of Kotek trying to open a door.

What was funny was that he tried a few different methods of opening the door.
