Projects – charity, music and a book
Charity project DRUM S.O.S. – NO to excuses, YES to ambition & dreams
With the support of local donors we enabled a primary school to acquire a
high-quality drum kit for daily lessons and young drummers. The new instrument
gave pupils a reliable and inspiring tool to practise on.
The project grew out of the DRUM S.O.S. handbooks and was soon
supported by many people from the local community.

Slovenian media covered the charity project extensively. The local newspaper
Modre novice reported on how donations enabled the school to obtain a
professional drum kit and highlighted the idea behind the
DRUM S.O.S. handbooks
.
Later, the municipal magazine Kamničanka wrote about the presentation
of the handbooks at the London Drum Show, where drummers and educators from
abroad showed great interest. Both articles emphasised how the project connects
education, creativity and charity.
Music project
Adria Animals – rock’n’roll in the service of charity
Adria Animals is a rock band from the Gorenjska region, known for
transforming Slovenian folk, traditional and evergreen songs, along with selected
classics, into energetic, humorous rock’n’roll. Their music puts stories,
lyrics and the Slovenian language at the forefront, from the most famous Slovenian
poet Prešeren’s Zdravljica to evergreen folk melodies.
The band was formed in 2018 and has since used the stage as a space for
charity work. After the 2023 floods, they organised benefit concerts
and rock’n’roll flea-market events to support firefighters and mountain
rescuers in Škofja Loka, Prevalje, Medvode and Kranjska Gora. For their
efforts, they received the honorary title
“Guardians of the Lilies”.
Adria Animals charity project & concert for local firefighters
After the devastating floods that hit many parts of Slovenia in 2023, we in
Adria Animals joined forces with other musicians and local volunteers
to organise a charity rock’n’roll evening Za gasilca veselička
in the medieval town of Škofja Loka. All proceeds went to volunteer firefighting
units whose facilities and homes had been severely damaged.

Local newspaper Loške novice described the event as a
“concert of gratitude” to the firefighters. More than twenty musicians
performed, while donations were collected for fire brigades and mountain rescue teams.
Loški utrip added a more personal perspective: from cleaning the venue
after the floods to the emotional energy of the concert itself. The symbolic painting
“Spirit of the Devil’s Footbridge” stood out as a gesture of solidarity.
Support for the volunteer fire brigade Prevalje in Carinthia, Slovenia
Together with Adria Animals, we organised a benefit concert dedicated to
PGD Prevalje, heavily involved in rescue operations during the catastrophic floods
that hit the region.
In gratitude for the support, the fire brigade awarded us a silver commemorative plaque.
A reminder that music can move people to action when it is needed most.
Charity ice axe for the Mountain Rescue Service
At Bar kulture 313,6 in Medvode we organised a fundraiser for the
Mountain Rescue Service Kamnik. A symbolic ice axe, manufactured by
Titan Kamnik and signed by legendary alpinists
Reinhold Messner and Viki Grošelj,
became the centrepiece of the event.

The municipal magazine Kamničanka covered the event as an innovative form
of fundraising that united a local manufacturer, world-renowned alpinists,
musicians and visitors in support of mountain rescuers.
Instead of a classic auction, visitors were encouraged to donate freely and sign the
ice axe. It became a collective “thank you” from everyone involved.
Charity concert
Solidarity Without Borders – Sarcasm for Flood Victims
When the flood takes everything, music can give back a piece of hope.
In 2014, severe floods struck Serbia and the wider Balkan region, destroying homes
and leaving communities in crisis. The Slovenian band Sarcasm took
part in a charity concert in Novi Sad, performing without a fee and helping raise
funds for those most affected.
A portion of the donations was directed to families in need, whose
homes and livelihoods had been hit hardest. The concert became an act of
solidarity and humanitarian support, offering hope during one of
the most difficult moments for local residents.
The Camino stays with you forever – 25 shades of the Camino
The Camino stays with you forever is a personal travelogue about walking,
silence, encounters and the small moments that shape a Camino journey across
France & Spain.
The book follows a month-long pilgrimage through physical effort, cultural
contrasts, emotional insight and moments of human warmth. Not a classic
guidebook, but a story about what happens between the steps.
Written in Slovenian, it blends travel writing with personal reflection.
An English version could appear in the future — and this page will be the first
place to announce it.
