In 2017 and 2018 I published A Firsthand Guide to Bled, Slovenia. This is the 2018 edition. I’m happy to provide this to anyone interested with the advisory note that parts may well be out of date.
Profile – Janez Fajfar, the man who represents Bled to the world and at home.
This is a very small selection of items you might see on a menu. If you are a bit more hesitant about trying new tastes, give these a go as an introduction.
The whole point of Firsthand Guides is to give you personal recommendations of places the writer has been. The suggestions are my personal choices. They are places I, my family and my friends like.
People come to Bled all year round, but the busiest time is, unsurprisingly, the summer. It is also the time when the town is most active. Sports events and music dominate, but there are many other cultural occasions, too.
Here is the playlist for tonight (7:00 pm UTC 8:00 pm GMT) Downloadable programme to follow.
This is the playlist for my Slice Audio show Around the World Fridays 19:00 to 21:00 UCT 22 March 2019.
“Welcome to Slovakia” they sing on Hit, a track on Hrdza’s new album Neskrotený. It is a thrill of an album using wit, style and excellent musicianship.

Week 3 playlist and a version of the live show.
Last week (15 February 2019) I started a show on Slice Audio streaming on the internet.
Here is the playlist for week 1
Three chords and a guitar? Community podcasters have an audio recorder and a determination to have their voices heard. Just like punks in the 1970s who demystified the record industry.
“More than 50 women’s voices you should hear” is a spin off from the imaginary Mediterranean tour. This is the first of probably four posts
Almost two years ago, I set out on an imaginary journey around the Mediterranean to explore the music and hear how such diverse cultures and peoples could influence each other and rely on each other for development in modern music.
A new mix for the weekend. Some of the tunes connect, some don’t. Overall they are a random selection. There are bands and tunes you have never heard before (honestly worth hearing) and some you’ve forgotten you even knew.
The end of the journey and the music of Morocco. The music is real, the trip (as is the grilled fish sitting on a Moroccan beach) is imagined.
With the exception of Libya, north Africa has been incredibly rewarding. No less Algeria.
This is my fantasy journey around the Mediterranean Sea in search of music.
Tunisia – you are outstanding. Read about the musicians, listen to the music.
