Loes van Schaijk (NL – vocals, acoustic guitar) and Honza Bartošek (CZ – vocals, violin) form a charismatic singer-songwriter duo somewhere on the borderline between Irish folk and bluegrass, full of humanity with a strong emphasis on rhythm and phrasing, as well as vocal harmonies and lyrics that are both witty and moving. During last year’s tour of seven European countries, they recorded a full concert at the Het Zevende Huis ("The Seventh House") club in Gorinchem, the Netherlands.
Come and join us at the Čítárna to celebrate the launch of this live album!
Appearing as a guest is the KrMiš duo: Krystyna (accordion, vocals) and Michaela Kalašová (clarinet, vocals).
Krystyna is a singer-songwriter, accordionist and puppeteer. Her songs are imbued with the folklore of her native Beskydy Mountains, as well as the chanson-style atmosphere of the big city. She sings in Polish, Czech, Slovak and the Cieszyn dialect. She also enjoys setting her friends’ poems to music and collecting old folk songs. Michaela Kalašová perfectly complements the performance with her clarinet playing and vocals.
Loes and Krystyna are colleagues at the non-profit organisation Loutky v nemocnici.

A RAZOR INSTEAD OF A TONGUE It is a band that began as a group of friends and went on to become something bigger, with its own truth and convictions. The band has released four demo singles from their forthcoming album, which is currently being recorded and will be released soon. This will be followed by a tour of the EU.
ABSENT GOD is a metal band from Pardubice. Through a sound combining black metal with doom, sludge and hardcore, they transport listeners to ancient worlds surrounded by higher realms and the eternal echoes of the old gods, as an act of defiance against the everyday spiritual angst of modern man.
TIMELESS END offers a unique style of melodic death metal and a combination of all its possible elements that cross over into other subgenres of metal music. From hard riffs, through glorious melodics, clean vocal passages to the occasional breakdown. All supported by the playing precision of all members. The music definitely encourages all kinds of moshpit, but if one is creative enough, one can dance.

Something lovely is coming to an end; something perhaps even lovelier is beginning.
Mr Pink and the Bad Thoughts As you’ve come to know it recently, it’s coming to an end – for what’s likely to be quite a long time. We’ve invited our best mates to join us in celebrating this properly:
Reverend Killjoy, Hippie Chippies, Noises from the Swamp

Sísa or Libuna They’re an unusual trio – no guitar, no keyboards and no vocals – but they’ve got energy to spare. Sísa or Libuna serve up a mix of improvisation and unexpected compositions that often take even the performers themselves by surprise. Punk for intellectuals, jazz for tough guys, and music for those who like it when things don’t make sense – until they suddenly do.
Space Holding is a new band formed in 2025. It is an extension of the songwriting project Kluk z Holdingu, featuring a jazz trumpet, bass guitar and drums. You can look forward to raw, life-inspired lyrics and a fusion of rock, folk, jazz, blues and punk.
genre: jazz-punk, space indie rock

Three like-minded bands playing music that isn’t exactly easy to categorise will be performing during the evening: Nonsen, Someday Orchestra and Lumík
There are songs that are just three chords and the truth. And then there’s this one Nonsense.
A band that combines singer-songwriting, prog rock, jazz, blues, folk and free improvisation. After nearly twenty years performing mainly on the alternative scene in Prague and North Moravia, the band released their eponymous debut album on Polí5 in the autumn of 2025. It offers a journey through an open, colourful musical landscape across seven tracks penned by frontman Martin Strakoš.
In the words of Milan Bátor, music editor at Czech Radio: "An atypical, asymmetrical, unpredictable, nonsensical recording that transcends genres. Especially for eager listeners seeking something unusual and original."
Someday Orchestra It evokes the atmosphere of stories – some close to home, some far away, and above all, those you imagine for yourselves as you listen. This five-piece ‘non-orchestra’ from Brno knows no genre boundaries and weaves into its compositions whatever the mood calls for. Dynamism and a rich variety of sounds, freedom in rhythm and composition, tension, melancholy and humour.
Lumík, it’s a colourful mix of guitar riffs and singer-songwriter escapades into the worlds of throat-grabbing tunes, funky philosophies, milky metaphors and psychedelic visions.
