And the icing on the cake: in addition to the great music, there's 
always an opportunity for visitors to extend the trip. This year before 
heading to Budapest, we spent a night in the  Lake Balaton area; which 
was even lovelier than I'd imagined. Bogi, who organises the tour, has 
amazing contacts,  we had a private wine tasting (guzzling really) with 
a wonderful meal, were collected next day from our hotel for a train 
ride around the town and taken by boat to our final Balaton destination. 
As for Budapest; just being there is a great experience, the 
architecture is stunning. Apart from tips, chocolate and snacks, the 
tour price covered just about everything so start saving for next year. 
Thanks to Tamas, Bogi and all the others who make the experience so special.

Tamas and the Bohems will be in the UK in August; they're booked for 
Pershore festival Sat 16th and Sun 17th and will be playing in our 
village hall near Oxford on Mon 18th. Check their website for other dates.


Meanwhile, we're trying to arrange to go to the Bank festival in June 
but details are a bit sparse at the moment. Tony fancies driving (on the 
wrong side of the road:-) ) in the quiet countryside. Gigs are a bit 
slow these days so we like to go and listen to others and steal their songs.

Hope the sun is shining for you,


Jude
