Stretch VI
Ukraine, Rivne, August 11, 2000

Общ 99-00 ред.jpg

      mass media was listed as international. This honorary status  gave the rock forum the expected arrival of a single foreign band - White Night Blues from Belarus.

      Her participation in the event was determined by none other than Mr. Clyde Erman from the glorious city of Mogilev. For the group, this was another significant trip, the third participation in a major festival movement in the international space.

     company of the most beautiful Belarusian girls and old Ukrainian friends.

     The stage was set on the territory of the huge Lyubomirka circuit. Logically, the location itself assumed the participation of a large number of bikers, whose presence in the previous "Protyags" had already become a tradition. In addition, bikers took on the functions of law enforcement officers.

     The performances of rock bands ended only in the morning of the next day. White Night Blues performed twice - in the evening set and at night. Just about after the band's night performance, everyone was given access to a free tank of beer, which was provided by the local sponsoring brewery. Immediately, right on the stage, a wonderful striptease from stunning Ukrainian women began! In general, the holiday took place.

     By the way, the number of sponsors included not only the city’s car fleet, but also the taxi drivers Rivne neighborhoods on their own festival transport. In addition, the organizers gave the participants of the festival coupons for a decent meal in one of the cafes right on the circuit. And there were no exceptions to the menu for food or drinks.

     Partly, for this reason, the musicians had to leave again without a producer, who remained in Rivne for an indefinite period But the main thing - in spite of everything, the trip and performances took place, and White Night Blues became participants in their first, most real international festival. In many respects, thanks to themselves))).

“At about two o'clock in the afternoon on August 11, an excessive accumulation of alternative youth was observed in the area of the settlement of Lubomirka ...” From an operational report to the right place.

The name of the group in French as "The Singing Mills" or "The Singing Mill" creates a cool image, but is pronounced "moule chantan".  And Chant Moulin? It can roughly be translated as "song of the mill" or something like "singing of the mill."

Yuz solved tricky questions and sorted out unforeseen situations throughout the festival and in any place, no matter where he was.

Belarus - Ukraine. Roundtrip.

Participants of the international rock forum presented such a travel document to the conductors when traveling between the cities of Volyn. It was, of course, a joke. But the most surprising thing (secretly) is that in some places these documents worked. Thus proving the unshakable truth that "in every joke ..." there is a very serious potential.
