Akvárium Club … In the middle of Downtown … District V., 12. Erzsébet Squ. Budapest

In February, concerts will be held all over the world to commemorate the most famous reggae musician of all time, Bob Marley.

In Hungary, Ladánybene 27 …

Will take the stage at the Akvárium Club with a show consisting exclusively of Marley songs. The concert on February 7,  (ticket available on the spot) which will feature several reggae performers, including Sena, CéAnne and Bottah Rankin, will feature well-known songs as well as rarities from Marley’s oeuvre. Bob Marley was an icon who sang about love and unity and made reggae music and Jamaica known worldwide. His international career really took off when Eric Clapton covered the song I Shot the Sheriff. Soon, however, songs that are now considered cult songs such as No Woman, No Cry, Rastaman Vibration, Redemption Song, One Love, Get Up, Stand Up or Is This Love were also at the top of the American and international charts, performed by Bob Marley and The Wailers. Bob Marley became a true world star, and in his homeland, Jamaica, he was a living legend, a prophet, the voice of the nation, who was even able to encourage opposing politicians to shake hands. He died tragically young, at the age of 36, of cancer. His spirituality, musical and social work still influence musicians of all generations to this day. Ladánybene 27 has been the ambassador of reggae music in Hungary since 1985. Bob Marley’s work had a great influence on the development of their music, even in those days when Jamaican music was hardly available in Hungary.

In 1996, the band released a Marley memorial album and holds a memorial concert every February. The concert features Marley’s well-known and lesser-known songs from his early Jamaican years to the end of his Tuff Gong world-conquering period … Tuff Gong is the brand name associated with a number of businesses started by Bob Marley and the Marley family. Tuff Gong is also a record label formed by the reggae group. ‘Tuff Gong’ comes from Marley’s nickname, which was in turn an echo of that given to founder of the Rastafari movement, Leonard “The Gong” Howell.

Budapest 3D Printing Days, organized for the 3rd. time this year and brings 40 exhibitors on hand. The visitors will also be offered have a chance to explore and try out the latest 3D printers and software.  The aim is to showcase the very best of this technology to the audience – returning visitors will be awarded by the rapid nature of development in this field, which is also observable in the local markets as well.  It is about so much more than printing plastic trinkets … less spectacular but all the more relevant production technology and product development integration will slowly reshape the industrial background behind our object culture.

The concept of 3D printing is unbelievably broad and when we  … mistakenly … reduce it to action figure printers, we likely are forgetting all of the of the technical, scientific or medical the advances which would have been impossible without the additive manufacturing process. Shapes that have had been previously impossible to manufacture, structures which were before too complex to mass produce with the 3D printing has made its way to be a part of our reality and in many fields to be used not in the future but to-day as well.

At the 3 days event visitors may see many awesome ideas placed into force and there is nothing strange in it, cause if just thinking of the invention of steel-bar  made fence in the 19th century was an unimaginable novelty and now-a-days  it does not trigger  anybody’s mind.

In the meantime here is one of the exhibitors, worthwhile to see and talk to the creators, Calin Brandabur and Mihai Soare who will be there to answer any of your questions and to present technical live demonstrations. Their Symme3D is being showcased for the first time internationally here in  Budapest  at the 3D Printing Days.

In brief a little background of  the … “ Symme3D is the first multifunctional delta platform 100% designed, engineered and manufactured in Romania. It was designed by Calin Brandabur to be used as a manufacturing tool for modules developed for personal use. The public interest was high so now Symme3D became a product on its own. The platform features 10 interchangeable tool heads for 3D printing, Laser etching, CNC milling and will be the first desktop sized pick and place machine worldwide. With Symme3D a DIY maker, engineer, hardware startup or even established company can control the full life-cycle of a hardware product development from PCB milling, for the electronics, Stencil laser cutting to easily apply the solder paste on the PCB to 3D printing  cases / boxes or frames for the final product. Also coming later this year, the first fully automated, desktop sized, Pick And Place machine! The Symme3D will be available to purchase in Summer 2015. … “

Soon spicing up with more 3D exhibitors.

The electronic music duo consisting of Lou Rhodes and Andy Barlow from Manchester, England who formed originally in 1996., is back in Budapest with addition of Dorothy Lamb’s Legs and Mius will provide the atmosphere  with their latest album titled: Backspace Unwind

Don’t miss out … Track this event on Wednesday, March, 4. 2015 at the Akvárium Club on the Erzsébet Square in the Capital.

Tickets on the spot, price: 5900.-HUF

Through 2015 -2016 they are traveling in Europe and holding concerts and one of them will be this week-end at the Akvárium Club in the Capital. Over 2 years ago the Lamb gave a concert here in Budapest and then gained a lot of fans too. This time old and new fans will be awaited for a night of pleasure at their concert.

The band from Manchester are producer Andy Barlow and Lou Rhodes singer-songwriter. Their music is heavily influenced by hip hop, drum ‘n’ bass and jazz styles, which they successfully combine to achieve their electronic genre. Although Andy and Lou were the two founders of the band and the key members, they also expanded to welcome bass guitarist Jon Thorne, guitarist Oddur Mar Runnarson, and drummer Nikolaj Bjerre.

Once complete, in 1996 the „now multi cultural”-band went on to release their first self-titled album, which after success consequently followed the release of three more albums and numerous successful singles. They released a greatest hits album, named, “Best Kept Secrets”, in 2004. Although they seemed set for a long musical career, the band slowly started touring less and making less and less music, recording in studios less frequently than a band should. This let to the break up of Lamb in 2004 as they performed their last live gig at the Paradiso in Amsterdam.

After various solo projects, the band came back together in five years later in 2009. Their first performance since the break up was at ‘The Big Chill music festival’, they then subsequently went on to perform live at numerous British festivals, including, Glastonbury, Cactus Festival and Beautiful Days Festival as well as other throughout Europe.

Following this success, Lamb went on to release their 5th studio album, named, ‘5’.
