Saw Batushka live for the first time!

Saw them in Portugal, I got a good spot in the front row. In the end, as usual Derph came down and handed over pieces of candles, he also shook our hands and even hugged some! He is such a nice guy, very interactive!

Heey my girl got an almost full candle and I got a strong handshake from Derph, the show was amazing, did not expect them to play five songs out of Litourgiya even tho they only had Patrick and another guy on choirs.

Derph is so nice and humble, wanted to take a pic with him but wasn't able to, however he shook my hand and I told him "It was amazing" He put his hand on his chest and said "Ow" almost embarrassed 😄 I thought they would play Litourgiya in it's entirety, but 5 songs was already very good, I hope they return in the future! 🤘🏼
