Radgoszcz, thank you. ❤️

What a time. The 4th edition of Radgoszcz Centrum Music Fest is behind us, and I’m still carrying the sound, the faces and the atmosphere of those days with me.

Huge thanks to @klaudiadraber — for the support, the energy and for being there whenever it mattered.

To my parents (@ikonyirenowacje) and sisters (@eliza.dworak @gabosza_ ) — thank you for all the support, and for opening our family home to the artists. Everyone felt welcome there, and that kind of hospitality is something no stage can replace.

Thank you to @slawekpezda and @max.drum for being there and for the wonderful music you brought with you. You’ve become a permanent part of this festival, and it wouldn’t sound the same without you.

Thank you to the Gmina Radgoszcz for the patronage and support — for believing that this place deserves music like this.

Special thanks to Sławomir Pikul for the magical sounds — the guest performance with one of our workshop participants was a moment I won’t forget.

And @pikulove150 keeps developing. The place grows more beautiful every year and is slowly taking on its final shape — closer and closer to what we always imagined it could be.

See you at the 5th edition. 🎶 taken in Radgoszcz, Tarnow, Poland by @klaudiadraber
