Mozyr, BikeFest, July 7-9, 2007

In June 2007, after the arrival from the Brest Festival in Belarus, the White Night Blues Clubmen took part in several performances , live broadcast on the channel "Culture" and others. But the next, after Brest, a major festival was again a bike fest - this time in the city of Mozyr, which was held in early July.
При поддержке продюсеров Игоря Огурцова и Анджея Поплавского из Минска в Мозырь был организованы автобусы, и целая рок-бригада выехала на Гомельшчину . The weather in the Pripyat basin turned out to be the most Polesie - the rain poured incessantly.
But this did not stop the musicians from rocking the audience. Albeit in Spartan conditions, but the concerts were held with a real fatal drive. Thanks to the audience for supporting those who played for them!
White Night Blues again performed in their usual trio format. This time, a wonderful drummer Vyacheslav Bulda took the place behind the drums.

Great Schecter guitar. But... it didn't stick. A very interesting "Crafter" will appear next month and will stay on for two whole years.

But Tatyana's beloved Yamaha has served faithfully for fifteen years. And they talk about some kind of girlish inconstancy)))

There is such an expression “wings grow” - when someone's support is on time and in the right place))). In this case, we can talk about the support of a cool rhythm section.

By the way, the fact that “wings grow” was noticed by Tatyana.

And they really grow ... behind Nesterenko's back)))

Of course, the hospitable hosts of this holiday took care of the hospitable table. And there was something to note, and the musicians chose mineral water)))

On the left is Maxim Kozlov, a journalist for Jazz-Kvadrat, whom the musicians met immediately after their performance on the Mozyr stage. A big interview with the group soon appeared in Jazz Square, and the acquaintance grew into a long-term friendship. By the way, Maxim is the author of most of the pictures used in this article.

The musicians continued to communicate, and on the stage, meanwhile, events of varying degrees of seriousness took place.

It would seem that Pomidorov had just been on stage, before they had time to look back, and he was already at the table with White Night Blues. By the way, Alexander is immensely respected by the Belarusian biker community, as evidenced by his unshakable status as the leading majority of bike festivals. And this is no coincidence, because Sasha is not only the author and inspirer of the author's musical projects “Drunken Guests” and “Pomidor / Off”, but also an experienced professional director, as well as one of the first rock hosts in Belarus on Radio B.A. Alfa Radio" and many others.

Without words (only gestures)))

The Storm group, along with the rain, drove waves of positive from the stage and back.

Alexey Krechet, the vocalist of "Storms", was, as always, on top!

White Night Blues, meanwhile, calmly tasting the taste of mineral waters, was going to the stage. And it was worth it.

Suddenly the bass player of the White Night Blues caught inspiration...

... and took away the instrument from the bass player of "Storm" almost by force.

The girls from the "storm" support group were very jealous of the actions towards the bassist. And we decided to take revenge with the second part of this real show!

Artifacts remained in memory of an unforgettable event. Now it's a real museum value.
