- 24 Sep 2015 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Along the Croatian-Hungarian border not much has changed since yesterday or the day before yesterday, and therefore we can turn to Hungarian sentiment, which has been poisoned by the massive government anti-refugee propaganda. Anita Köműves of Népszabadság, who just returned to Hungary after a year as a journalist intern at the University of Maryland, was astounded by the general lack of ...
Pink Martini, National Concert Hall Budapest, 6 October
- 22 Sep 2015 9:00 AM
- entertainment
There have been quite a few attempts at defining the style of Pink Martini. Some described the exquisitely arranged songs as classical music, others seek to highlight the influence of Latin music and jazz. The audience, of course, is less interested in definitions than in being transported by such outstanding musicians as the band's singer, China Forbes.

Good news! The summer hasn’t finished after all. With the organisers postponing the original date of this event due to bad weather, this weekend they got the timing spot on. I choose the Sunday, which turned out to be a beautiful warm sunny day. With plenty of people in attendance, and lots to choose from here, I didn’t need reminding that the folk of Budapest and those who were visiting really ...

Xpat Opinion: Toward A Police State In Hungary?
- 8 Sep 2015 1:00 AM
- current affairs
It’s time to take a quick look at the amendments to existing laws on the army and the police that, in Viktor Orbán’s words, will start a new era in Hungary. The projected date of this new beginning is September 15–that is, if Fidesz-KDNP has its way and four-fifths of MPs present vote for the extended use of the army and the police in the border regions and elsewhere.

Beardyman (UK), A38 Ship Budapest, 5 September
- 1 Sep 2015 6:00 AM
- entertainment
Chances are, you already know Beardyman. He’s the lovable beatboxing champion, the festival favourite last heard playing the charismatic stoner on Fatboy Slim’s global smash ‘Eat Sleep Rave Repeat’, right? Well, yes, that was Beardyman. But the musician emerging from hiding on his startling new album Distractions is virtually a different species altogether.
