Fun Fair - the Rock band

Sure, Freddy as desperately as any other member of Queen band would not stay calm and at least say: "Oh, dear, these guys rock hard!". Of course this could have happened if they dropped in the Paspartu club of Kiev, between 18-45 and 21-00 at 29th of September. (Father May, why won't you come?).

So what was at fifth Freddie Mercury fest? Almost anything! There was drive, energy, own vision, academic sounding, chorus singing, dancing out hard and a sweat, yeah a lot of of hi-grade musical sweat! Musical gurus could have some complaints about some dissonances, uneven playing and so on... o-o-oh you'd better stop that! Having the people jumping out of the pants, and a hundred of voices with: "Magnifico-o-o-o!" at some point, constant crowd in front of the stage and an overflow of good vibrations, who cares?

But we care :) Some people say, we gave a nice push (yep, that's the work to do for an opening band :)), some say, we had a nice look (thanks to Queen, we tried our best), say: "Hey, pals, that was great!" (thanks a lot, we're glad to hear that). Sure, our sounding wasn't on the crest-best, we could have done better and still have a room for improvement. Thanks anyway, we appreciate it.

Not to forget guys from Areal. Sure, they proved their headliner status for 100 %. Band has a huge experience (they're told to perform since 1999). We also liked the Velvet Sun band from Kiev - some parts of their show just made us sing along. Well, all of the bands worked hard to join the festival and deserve the best marks. And the chorus singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the very end of the show — it devinitely burnt out "QUEEN" in spectators' hearts, all the letters golden. Sure, we went home with that word, though nobody wanted to leave the hot place.

We have a more comprehensive coverage for the event: on the Kiev rock club website and on Queen.net.ua (in Russian, with more pics). We'd like to say a big thanks to all of the people: bands performed that night, listeners, fans, to tech support. Every single one of you have done a great job. Special thanks to The Crÿck band for organization, MC and nice vocals from Loki. Looking forward to next festivals! From Fun Fair with love :)
