Harp Fairy listening to Kora Fairy
This is the main reason why we're at an African Festival... to finally see and hear one of our favourite musicians:
The Gambian Kora player and singer Sona Jobarteh !
She's fecking awesome!
And her band is magical!
Real live music for real people :-)
Greenz and golden strings...

Fixing an ancient artifact!
This drumrack was made by Steve Sic in 1998 and used in all the OMNIA shows until 2007...(everybody took turns playing it, very therapeutic!)
He is now modifying it so we can use it for some Big Drums that will be part of our superfreaky special show with the OMNIA collective on Festival Mediaval in September this year.
So, who out there is building or fixing stuff outside? Houses, fences, rocking horses, thunderboxes, debris shelters...?? Show us!
Lots of summer greenthings with a big BOOM

And luckily we had one last day to just hang around the pool and slack !
What's the weather like where YOU are?

Contentment :-)

Band practice! (The hard life of a musician part 15)
We're having fun arranging tunes and chilling at dreamharps together with (part of) the wonderously creative and talented
"OMNIA Colllective"
We're preparing for our upcoming special gigs in Czechia und Deutschland in september!
Greenthingz and Summerheat!
The OMNIA Collective
The new edition of the Raventimes is out today!
(O.K. Full moon was yesterday, but, as you will notice from this month's RT, we all had a little vacation time, so cut us some slack this once! ;-) )
Have a nice read, we also love the reactions we get from you guys (through mail and on here) so let us know what YOU thought of this Holiday Special!

Hoooooooome....!!
Inked Friends!
After racing the Black Beauty Beast up through Bulgaria, Serbia, Hrvatska, Slovenia, Austria and graduly up into ever increasing road rage and chaos through Bavaria we have now reached the peacefull house of our old friends Markus and Verena in Germany
Gerümpelstube Wachenheim
I'm sitting in their backyard listening to the gorgeous singing of the blackbirds while sipping an icecold cider :-)
Good times!
Now to top it off I'm gonna join Jenny in the first hot bath we've had in yonks...
I'm happy :-)
What about YOU?
Rolling through Bavaria with a bearded Steve behind the wheel....
I can't wait to get home to shave that prickly stuff off so we can kiss normally again!

Friends and family
Today we left our amazing friends in Bulgaria to start on the return journey back home to our little forest house.
As I write this we are Roaring along the motorways of Serbia, but our hearts are still with our friends, their horses and other animals in the impressive nature of the Balkan!
But like Arnie: "We'll be back!"
