The ensemble named after Simon Gajšek celebrated its 25th anniversary with a concert in the fully packed cultural hall in Gorica near Slivnica.

The original lineup included Denis Lenart, Andrej Sluga, and Andrej Cmok, and they released their debut cassette titled Iz Dol do Šentjurja. A later compilation called Zaljubljeni muzikant followed, named after one of their popular polkas. Over the years, the ensemble’s sound, musical arrangements, and lineup have evolved. They have performed both their own compositions and works by other authors. At the anniversary concert, they began with the songs Srce ne pozabi and Ne dam ga. In addition to performing, Gajšek has been teaching harmonica since 2001, and twelve of his students joined him on stage at the concert. Three years ago, Mojca left the group, and Natalija Potočnik from Koroška took her place. Miha Selič, the current guitarist, replaced Primož Pušnik. Brane Klavžar, a renowned harmonica player, performed Drobna prevara on harmonica. Twelve of Gajšek’s harmonica players performed together with the ensemble. The concert featured guest appearances, including Brane Klavžar, the ensemble Dar, and members of Zeme. The performance concluded with all performers joining on stage for Golica by Avsenik.
