Dob’r Bob’r, Ljubljana
First time at Harat’s Pub, working with Dob’r Bob’r Band on a Saturday evening. I didn’t quite know what to expect, but I was there to support friends and photograph a fun band project that had been in my calendar for months. No tickets at the door, but one look around the room said it…

Slow Monkeys, Ptuj
My second show with Slow Monkeys, this time on a bigger stage, supporting Joker Out at Arena Campus Sava. Lucija Remic on vocals, Jure Kropec and Tadej Cizej on guitars, Žiga Hrup on bass, Bor Lebič on drums, and Gašper Repše on keys make for a fun and promising group of young musicians. Hope to…

S01E06 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 6. It’s mildly ironic writing a weekly newsletter called Anything But Therapy when this entire week has been exactly that – therapy. Just not the kind I originally had in mind. Sigh. Recovering from a broken finger, limiting physical activity, and processing unexpected news turned out to be a bit much. Not fully there…

Gliste, Gala Hala
The show I’ve been looking forward to since Episode 1 of my newsletter – Gliste. Tackling a packed Gala Hala with a broken pinky isn’t ideal, but such is life. My first gig with the band, not knowing what to expect, I went in excited. Friday, 11 PM, and 30 minutes of something special turned…

S01E05 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 5. Due to a broken toe and a doctor-advised sick leave, this week’s Anything But Therapy is postponed. Hah. Just kidding. Sadly, not about the broken pinky toe, but just about postponing Episode 5 – I can still type. Yesterday’s visit to ER’s X-ray confirmed a fracture, courtesy of an early-morning door kicking. Pro…

Ardnamurchan 10yo, Dramface #36 & Jack Black
If you ask me about whisky, I’ll be the first to admit I know very little. I enjoy it, though, and the more I explore, the deeper my fondness for the water of life gets. Don’t worry, this won’t turn into poetry. I’m also writing this sober, quietly pondering which bottle I should uncork. Last…

Concerts in 2025, the list
57 concerts. Two festival-ish. Twelve nights at Cankarjev dom. Twenty-six shows with Siddharta. And, as mentioned in my newsletter, very much a year of orchestras. Picking a favourite feels about as useful as choosing a favourite whisky. Honestly, I enjoyed every single show on this list. Some evenings started a little moody, but they all…

Do you have the Panettone yet?
A question I usually start asking sometime in September, fully aware that we’re still months away from that dangerously good pastry from the heart of Sicily. My name is Marko. I’m a friend of Raw Pasta. And my favourite Panettone of 2025 was Apple, Cinnamon & Almonds. I’m still mildly upset I only bought one.…

S01E04 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 4. Keeping the newsletter momentum, even if I lost the thread a bit. I’ve been struggling with social posts since the start of the year, still slightly exhausted from December. Not exhausted enough to stop me from howling at the moon, though. And howl I did. In a small market, helping out shouldn’t cost…

Jošt Lampret & Big Band RTV, SiTi Teater
My first show of the year, this time purely as a fan with a camera. From “the curtain has fallen” to a sold-out evening with Jošt Lampret and the Big Band RTV Slovenija, joined by Veronika Kumar on vocals and Gaj Boštic on drums, under the direction of Tadej Tomšič. One of those shows you…

When helping out gets expensive
A scenario I’ve lately run into more than once goes something like this: A client reaches out. They want me to shoot a concert, event, some portraits, etc. I’m already booked or unavailable. Instead of immediately declining, I do what I consider a decent thing: I’ll recommend and reach out to a photographer I trust.…

S01E03 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 3. January mood? December stats? Another rant? New Year’s resolutions? Ten minutes to the Episode 3 deadline. Let’s keep this simple. December didn’t really slow down, so here’s a quick recap of recently published galleries: Siddharta, Novo mesto Siddharta, Nova Gorica Dan D, Novo mesto And some content I promised a week ago Janez…
