In early November 2006, the White Night Blues finally broke away from their birthplace - the small town of Bialynichy On Saturday, November 6, Yuri Nesterenko left for Mogilev for a literary and musical sabbath called “Prypynak Kantsava” (while still an employee of the Belynichi Cultural Center), and on Monday, November 8, he arrived at work and wrote a letter of resignation. Thus, the group finally set off on a free voyage through the cities of their native country and neighboring states.

     The first significant performances took place on December 1 and 2 in Minsk. Initially, there was a White Night Blues solo concert at the Graffiti club (please do not confuse the good old institution, founded with the assistance and under the guidance of Mr. Vetra (where the famous producer Pavel Kashirin worked as a music director for ten years) with the subsequently existing "office", which deftly used authority and the hyped brand of its predecessors).

      Pavel Kashirin scheduled a huge number of events, and their order was months ahead. However, there was a "window" in the concert schedule for WNB to perform in the near future at that time. This date was also important because the next day the band's performance was to take place as part of the Grifomania international guitar festival.

     About him further and the conversation will go on:

      The festival was organized by Yuri Vladimirovich Reshetnikov, music journalist, radio and TV presenter, connoisseur of rock and music music. He brought together the most diverse guitarists of a very high level to participate in the festival - mainly from Belarus, but invited artists from Ukraine and Russia participated in almost every festival. There were also plans to expand the geography (for example, negotiations were held with former Belarusian, and now foreign super-guitarists Viktor Smolsky (Germany) and Alexander Rastopchin (USA).

      presented in different years. There were modern classics, and avant-garde, and speed metal, and experimental electronic projects. In general, guitar art in all its manifestations.

Yuri Nesterenko was not just a guest musician. The fact is that in 2001 - 2003, Yuri published a magazine called Grifoman. It was a standalone publication about modern  guitar. Nesterenko, as editor-in-chief, deliberately chose a name that would connect the magazine with such a powerful cultural project  in the field of domestic and international guitar music as the Grifomania festival. He convinced Reshetnikov that in this way the idea of uniting guitarists and developing the guitar movement would be supported and strengthened, and Yuri Vladimirovich agreed to use a magazine name that would refer to the name of the festival.

     It's time for the editor himself to try his hand on stage. At Grifomania-2006, Nesterenko opened the second part with a solo number on an acoustic guitar. The play, by a strange coincidence, was called not at all welcoming: "Farewell." But it was just a play on words, and after the first number, the White Night Blues musicians joined their guitarist and played a prepared program, which included instrumental pieces of a funk-blues-rock nature, and at the end a slow blues in the Belarusian language “I know so many pashchota” was performed ".

      The festival was also attended by: two talented debutants, who later became famous rock guitarists Alexander and Grigoruiko; exotic diva with a power instrument, performing guitar electro-pop - Irina Ignatyuk (all in the first part). The second festival part began, as already mentioned, with White Night Blues; then an interesting jazz musician Igor Pilipenko played; then Andrei Voitsekhovsky, a master of flamenco music, spoke; the final block was played by Vladimir Petrovich Ugolnik, presenting a guitar hurricane in which blues, jazz, rock and roll intertwined. He also started the festival jam, to which all the participants of the concert came out at will.
