4 DAYS UPDATE AT THE BLUES, BEER, FOOD FESTIVAL
Where shall I start … hmmm … well the locals and foreigners didn’t haven to hitchhike north to Chicago and spend any of the four days to listen to some fine mellow blues music and of course getting into the schmooze! „More blues than you can handle“ probably describes best the 4-day events which took place at this year 15th Budapest’s Corvin promenade Beer and Blues Festival. On the spot everyone’s need was served to get the feeling of the wonderful sound of the Blues music along with the “liquid bread” the variety of Hungarian and beers from Europe’s grand labels.
Nobody can not enjoy the best music with a dry throat and being hungry. Many beer stands, food cooked, baked, fried in the oven, on the stoves were available to ease these pains. The past years the beer producers have come up with beers having the fruit tastes. One of the liquid in pleasure was “RIZMAYER” beer, the sour cherry flavored beer and the sour cherry dipped in cognac beer made many their day. Of course the Hungaricum, the Pálinka didn’t wish to stay at home, couldn’t have missed not to show up at the Blues Festival. Group of local and foreigner people certainly enjoyed probably the last days of the passing summertime with blue sky along with the blues and all the city what it offered. Probably the sky and the clear full moon enjoyed the air-filled with the blues.
Throughout the 4 days, from noon till 11 p.m. superb groups shared their music and it was seen how much good and quality music can be offered by domestic, European and American blues artists.
During the 4 days the blues menu was provided by 16 groups and bands and DJ’s.
Mentioning some that can been seen in the slide show: Ms. Karen Carroll and Mbb, Mr. Tamás Szabó and Mojo, Tom White band, Mystery Gand, Jambalaya, Jimi Hendrix Memorial, Mr. György Ferenczi and the Rackajam.
The 15th Blues and Beer Festival met all the expectations and there’s no back, except, if not in recalling the enjoyable time you had there! See you next year at the 16th Beer and Blues Festival in Budapest or somewhere in Hungary!
The outdoor music festival surely was extremely versatile, catchy and perfectly accurate!
I missed it a bit and hoping next year there will be more Ladies of the Blues participating at the 16th Blues Festival at Budapest. So here’s a lesson to the be heard by the organisers!
Hopefully our Bluestourisim will also grow higher in the coming years!
