Young distilleries #2601
Starting the year with Marko from EtOH, Whisky Club Slovenia, our hosts Broken Bones and various distilleries from across the globe. With a lineup consisting of Lochlea, Pōkeno, Nc’nean, Raasay*, Wireworks and High Coast, we visited multiple countries, learned some interesting facts and tasted some young but delicious drams. My absolute favourite – High Coast…

Akademija za glas, SiTi Teater
Nataša Nahtigal, renowned vocal coach, and her Voice Academy hosted two back-to-back student performances at Ljubljana’s SiTi Teater yesterday. I didn’t expect a full house, but the support for young, emerging artists was immense, and it was a pleasure to be part of the event once again. Light design by Jure Matoz. Gear used Sony…

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…

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…

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…

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.…

Dan D, Novo mesto
Probably the hardest caption I’ve written in a long time. The plan was simple. New Year’s Eve in bed, lights out early, gently snoring by 10 PM. December was a lot, and honestly, even Niet playing at Trg francoske revolucije wasn’t tempting enough. But when Dan D announced they were ending their journey with a…

Siddharta, Nova Gorica
Last show of the year. Not exactly common to have a proper ‘štrom’ gig on a Monday, but I’m not complaining. A few days before closing out 2025, doing it with a band like this felt right. Still riding the Novo mesto high, I was tired but excited. Warmer air, an early 20:30 start, and…
