SIRKIS/BIALAS IQ - Spring Tour 2017: Gig Nr. 12 at the Lighthouse in Deal, UK...

Dear Peeps, 

Our next tour - station is THE LIGHTHOUSE in Deal.

This time we feature again the great young explosive :-) polish pianist - Tomasz Bura!

Let`s go!

As we started our trip the weather was fantastic.

We were able to cover some of the vitamin D deficiency! :-)

By this weather even a break at the petrol station can be very inspiring :-):

Now some deeper reflections about the touring life...

With the time it turns you from that:

Asaf and Sylwia

:-D !!! My cave boyzzz

LOL - good that I am behind the camera! I`m smeared with chocolate...

And how not to see the caveman maces everywhere after all that ?! :-)))

The last precious sunbeams as we`re approaching DOVER!

Wooh! This is what you call a serious FOG!

Welcome to Dover - phew - now we know! Good bye sunshine !!!

Snaily speeding through the milk...

An old windmill...

This view reminded me of a soundtrack I recorded for this dark German phantasy movie called Krabat:

I had a good laugh reading the youtube comments under the soundtrack. Somebody asked in which language is the song and somebody else wrote a detailed and eloquent answer about a certain Sorbian dialect. The truth is - I simply  invented this language using phantasy words ;-))))... 

Red - Orange - Red

Yes, more color please. Thanks. :-)

And here we are! The Lighthouse in Deal.

After the soundcheck we went to a nice indian restaurant close to the venue...

We went through the set lists and ate a dinner before the gig...

This is what I call the right spirit! A bad cold doesn`t matter - Kevin`s epic "Face" is there! Great! hahah

Doctor stage never fails !!!

Here we are!

The gig with Tomasz was fun as always! We enjoyed the "shred" very much. Kevin almost got healthy ;-)! hahah... The audience was a bit chatty as we took the risk of playing in a place visited by mostly random people, but at the end there were many people listening and enjoying our music. The most precious feedback that we frequently receive comes from the people that never listened to Jazz or normally not liking this genre, sticking to all the old cliches about what Jazz is supposed to be ...They weather are surprised to hear something new that is so varied and fascinating to them or just review their knowledge and relation to this style...

We`re always happy to advise them to check out our musician - colleges and to spread the spirit of listening more to live music in general...

Every gig that we do - even under some random and challenging circumstances makes a change not only to us but also to the people, who sometimes would probably never take the initiative to visit a live concert like that and through getting this opportunity became real fans of live music, tasting genres other to the ones they get to listen to on the radio....   

Thanks to the Lighthouse for having us, thanks to Tomasz for a great gig together!!!

We`re back on the road and a fantastic night - light spectacle is awaiting us! Let`s go - the night is still young! :-) Even if we`re totally tired....:-)

Navi - blues:

It begins to tell round midnight in a full synchronicity...

We`re listening to Asaf`s new recording with Mark Wingfield, Marcus Reuter and Yaron Stavi recorded for the Moonjune records... The best music for the night driving :-):
