     The place really lived up to its name - and there were a lot of mountains (in the sense of forested hills and slopes) enough. Like guys on Harleys and ATVs on steep sections of motorcycle trails right in the middle of the forest. And with the stage for the performance of rock bands  it turned out very cool.

     For example, you are climbing a rather steep slope - grass and razor-pine, suddenly knee-deep hill, almost flush with the trees growing around, a platform suddenly appears.  Not even a playground, but a huge stage, fenced with protective railings. A set of equipment, no worse than  in the concert hall "Minsk": a huge drum set, a bunch of monitors, stands for keys and guitars, a lot of microphones, guitar stacks, bass stacks, and this panorama crowns this musical richness , deployed somewhere far away.

     При попытке  всмотреться в эту даль ты оказываешься на краю отвесного обрыва – а внизу искуственная a valley - in our case, a flat area of the dance floor - with an old army armored personnel carrier on the side, where sound engineers and lighting engineers sit. And if you look from their side, it turns out that they see you on top of a huge dugout with once green gates and red stars on them, pretty rusty in places. Well, just some kind of mixture of socialist realism and post-modernism.

     Until it came to the first day of the rock concert, which only started in the pre-sunset sun porridge from a camp kitchen with beautiful cooks who shared this treat, and striptease from other beauties under the guise of washing motorcycles, and incredible tricks from reckless stuntmen, and paintball battles, and an all-encompassing and universal bacchanalia - in the highest and kindest sense of the word. No conflicts, no drunken debauchery or rudeness - exceptional benevolence and respect for each other by a huge number of complete strangers.

     The musicians with whom the White Night Blues from Minsk have already crossed at other festivals performed: Russian-speaking group of guitarist and author of all songs Yura Mikhailov; Mogilev hard'n'heavy group “Aphasia” presented their program, as always, at the level; “Iris7”, once beloved by many, who played subtle intelligent music at the junction of rock, soft jazz and funk – all these bands played full-fledged concerts. The group "IQ48" excelled - apparently, they shot a film about their work, and all those present were pleased with their own game for probably two and a half hours.

      they played the same evening, and who the next day, now it is very difficult to remember. But it is worth noting that everything was in order with sound, light and a cool musical program at this bike show.

Sergei Matskevich and Yuri Nesterenko immediately decided to deal with the connection nuances.

With the light hand of the White Night Blues musicians, the “mission control center” suddenly hummed like a beehive - that is, sound and lighting engineers pulled themselves up to the place of sound and light control.

People slowly gathered in front of the stage. Nesterenko in the center of the site listened attentively to the speeches in a solemnly casual style at the opening of the festival.

The first team appeared on the stage. The musicians of White Night Blues could be seen in the role of spectators on the green canvas of the dance lawn (see down, to the center and a little to the right))).
