I love the polar edge land for its extremes and its boundless

Murmansk met the "people's" with sudden warm, after -10 in Moscow the about zero temperature seemed to be summer. Of course, the warm and love of fellow-country men of the winner Alexey Goman were added into the atmosphere of the town. Besides, all "people's" felt them self as home in Murmansk. In the airport the artists were accepted with bread and salt, and a big bouquet of flowers. The brother of Goman, Genia met him at the plane gangway. Alexey went home to relatives, friends and favorite cat Gumba after agreement with the organizers of the concert. The girls from "Assorti" wanted to see the apartment the "People's Artist" grew up, but decided not to disturb the family happiness. "People's" liked the polar edge city very much. During the walk through the city the guys admired the unique architecture of Murmansk, the sites of numerous hills, clear air and smiling faces of the citizens.
After the supper the guys went to "Europe Plus" radio station to listen to the tapes of the participants of "ACCOMPLICE OF People's ARTIST" competition and chose the winner, who got the chance to perform with "people's" on the same stage.
The Ice palace met the "people's" with unusual cold. During the sound-check already, the guys understood that they have never performed on such cold. But from the first chords the cold of the huge hall has gone. And when Alexey Goman came out on the stage all the audience stood up and greeted the artist standing. With shivering from excitement voice Alexey greeted the spectators.
- I've never worried so much in my life, not before the concert in Kremlin, neither during the contest. After all, I perform before the loved and native people in the town of my childhood. I love all of you very much and I devote this song to Murmansk. The spectators met every artist warmly, but the performances of Goman were constantly accompanied with fire of lights and cellphones.
Goman anticipated the performance of the "Russian guy" with little story.
- I like the song, I above to perform, very much. Not long ago, when we were on tour in Taganrog, I knew that I was not the only one who performed this song. The point is that the draft commissions of Taganrog accompany the sending of new recruits to Russian army with this song. And future defenders of the country study it as a front song. It is unusual, of course, but very pleasant.
Also, Goman performed the song "Start rolling", that Murmansk citizens know well but listened it only in guitar performance. The professionally arranged well known song performed by the favorite touched everybody.
After the concert the guys went to hotel, and Alexey to home.
- It is the most excitement feeling during the tour, after the concert I go home! Fantastic!
