After a few false starts and sparsely attended openings (the much vaunted EuroCafe is little more than a corridor in a hotel foyer), the 2010 party season started properly tonight with Serbia‘s big do. They’ve clearly got the whole u behind them, as they shipped in their nation’s biggest star – Goran Bregovic – who also wrote this year’ s song for them, to do a turn… and what a blinding turn it was. The best vodka Belgrade could muster flowed thankfully freely as the old master belted out a few of his pile-driver Balkan folk stompers, with this year’s act, the girl-faced, heavily made up but still strangely macho Milan putting in a welcome appearance too.

Grown men who normally know much better were turned to gibbering wrecks by the booze fuelled intensity of it all.

And of course the Moldovans were there, making a happy nuisance of themselves and helping the fustier revellers get into the swing of things. If anyone wants to take the party heroes gong off these kids this year they’d better do something about it fast. They even appear to have procured an old battered Datsun from somewhere to drive around town in.

And as for us – we sailed off on a free cruise up the fjords on the three masted sail ship they filmed the Onedin Line on. Well, it’s all rock and roll, innit.
