There is a lot of music around during the summer in Bled, not the least being the Bled Festival which starts next week.
Most nights of the weekend, there is a band playing at the Park Hotel Terrace. Last night was the Beer Belly Band; not Cambridge based rock band, but the Slovenian purveyors of Irish and Scotish music ... well. four of them - according to their website and Facebook page there are normally six.
How did they do? It is odd hearing a band set up in Slovenian and then kick off with an accent perfect "Molly Maguires". They are technically very good musicians, tight, well rehearsed/practised, note perfect with a few extra diddly-dums thrown in. It was good, but it wasn't ceilidh. They seemed a little bored. Maybe it was the audience; there weren't many, but they were eager to enjoy themselves. A lively bunch with northern english accents behind me picked up for a sing song with My Aunt Jane, (I'll Tell Me Ma, Belle of Belfast City - you choose the title) and Loch Lomond.
With a bit more passion, it would have been a great night.
