Yup - it happened this Friday (10-06-2011)

First time OUT of the country, in the neighboring Kosovo capital - Prishtina (some 90km north of my town Skopje)...

A wonderful place called HAMAM JAZZ BAR. http://www.hamamjazz.com/?cid=1,9

We played as Josephine's Suspenders. I was also the official band driver (since I don't drink) :D
The congas and drums were from the club - a Yamaha Stage Custom bop set (all birch shells, but made in China), and Tycoon congas. I must admit the stock heads gave me trouble a bit, but, with a handkerchief and a tape - the floor tom sounded quite well.

Some pics from the event (there's the "Goki Face", don't worry :lol: ):

The band with the Club manager - a very nice and pleasant guy.

All in all - a wonderful time spent out of the country... :)

Nice group of smiling faces in the last photo - says it all.

Like the shot of the the Somor T shirt over the Yamaha logo.

Cool, Goki! Thanks for all the pics. Looks like a great place to play. Congratulations on spreading the band's name around; that must feel pretty good.

The manager of the club (the guy in the middle).

You already know Marta, and the "sonor" geek... :lol:
The guys on the right are the guitar player (far right) and bass player (2nd from the right)...

But, THAT's OBVIOUS from one of the pictures... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: I'm a sugar junkie... :lol:

The trip was 2 hours - which is not much... :)

All in all, it was a great experience. I do hope we'll return in autumn...

Great shots Goki,

It is always a thrill playing in another country and letting the music communicate for everyone. Congratulations on what appears to have been a fun gig. Did any of those ceiling thingys fall on the band? :shock:

Roland
