    "Day before St. Patrick's day" in city philarmonia.

    On last friday here in Novosibirsk Philarmonia was great concert named "The day before st. Patrick's day" or also "Treasures of celts". In these year it was part of anniversary, 70th season of our philarmonia. Here was some irish dancers from all around Western Siberia, local irish band named "StreetFiddlers", duet of pipers "Baron-Anneix" from Bretagne, local acoustic band "Men in kilts" and russian scottish clan Balmor(no, they have not scottish ancestry as far as i know, but they are scottish in mind ), and, finally, chamber orchestra. It was great, despite of some sound problems in hall. Many friends and good atmosphere. Unfortunately i have not yet finished black danim XKilt and outside was about -15C, so i wasn't in kilt, but i wore it after, when me, two friends and StreetFiddlers moved to private club near my home for one more their concert. I never before was in that club and i think i never again will in it without good reason. Damn, people in not responded on good music, played for about two hours. No applause, no dances except us three, but after concert they start to dance disco or something same. And also there was too many smoke for heavy dancing.
    P.S. yesterday we finally got real spring, so today it's about 10C outside.
    P.P.S. i'm sorry for my english but i tried to be as good as i can. And when i'll got some photoes i'll post it here.
    P.P.P.S. some photos from band concert on next day in another city, where i wasn't :


    and two musicians from Bretagne:
