There’s something special about small venues like BARdzo Bardzo in Warsaw – they blur the line between artist and audience, making every moment feel personal. That’s exactly where Bartek Turski stepped in, turning the cosy venue into a space filled with warmth and the sound of fans singing every line right back to him.

Once known for his band Assembled, Bartek has since built his own following, drawn to him not only by his music but also by his now-iconic TikToks about apples. The fruit even made an appearance at the show, waiting for fans on stands around the venue. It’s not just Warsaw keeping an eye on him – he’s been working in London too, slowly turning local buzz into something bigger.

Still, nothing captures his energy quite like a live show. From “You’re such a good girl?” to songs from Assembled and covers like Sombr’s “Back to Friends”, the setlist blended nostalgia with freshness. Between songs, Bartek joked, chatted with fans, and at one point even threw an apple into the crowd.

The show ended the same way it began – loud and full of life. Bartek left the stage to cheers and laughter. But he didn’t leave his fans behind. He stayed after the show, chatting, taking selfies, and turning the end of the night into one more moment worth remembering. If this is what the start looks like, the future’s about to get loud.
