We had already agreed with Eugene that he would appear this year as well, but … But I promise you that his songs will continue to play at the festival, without Eugene, but we will remember him as he belongs!

“Every song of mine is a hit!” Eugene said in the fall. With no quarantined concerts, he sent greetings to people. He used to say to me, “Vytai, I don’t have time now. I have three greetings.” For whatever reason, he devoted the whole day to it. Receiving 30 euros each, he supported himself and his family.

We owe it to Eugene for the unforgettable evenings and the songs we put out at every dance. In gratitude, I have already paid Eugene’s mother the full fee for the next Eugene Festival.

I don’t expect Eugene’s mother to be able to get support anywhere other than our community at this difficult time. For this reason, for the “Bicycle”, for the “Golden Shoes”, for the “Old Song”, for “There will be no marriage” and many more can be thanked, “announced the host and organizer of the event, offering his support the relatives of the victim.
