21st July was a very special night for us at The Ouch! Music Club. Followed by 2 weeks of happy-stress and insomnia I finally felt ready and relaxed on the stage. 2 weeks prior the event I didn't have a band, and had no idea about the existence of our drummer Kaf either. Kaf the lovely guy from Madagaskar joined Ben on bass, Danil on guitar and me to play our very first gig at this special occassion.
I received much support organizing and putting the schedule together, especially from Hungarians in Brighton. Zsuzsa Balogh made pogácsa - the special savoury scones to help us raise money. Dj János Vizes also popped in to play some tunes after the gig. We got special raffle prizes from the Homeless World Cup itself, such as an offical ball and a T-shirt from the 2009 tournaments in Milan which was signed by Lewis Hamilton.
The venue offered us a bottle of expensive champagne for the raffle, and a lovely young man Paul helped us out with sound engineering. Phill played some wicked Eastern European tunes and many more friends help with bits and pieces on the day.
We had a very special guest Jonathan Regler from Streets Revolution who made a heartwarming speech about how football can change and actually save the lives of homeless people on the streets.
We have made about £70 so far, and will not stop until we can send a reasonable amount as me and Jon agreed - to the Hungarian Team. So, I would like to say big thank you for those who have been part of it, and encourage many more to join the fundraising process by donating on this site. (you can make your donations by clicking on the Donate button on the right)
Our next fundraising gig will be on 27th July (Wednesday) in Brighton.

"The Homeless World Cup is a unique, pioneering social enterprise which exists to end homelessness. It uses football to energise homeless people to change their own lives. The Homeless World Cup is pioneering a level of impact never seen before. Over 70% of players significantly change their lives."

Exhibition of Hungarian Artist in Brighton
As an Artist and Cultural Director at SHCA (Sussex Hungarian Cultural Association) I always feel motivated to encourage myself and my fellow Hungarians to make time for passionate creativity. The Exhibition of Hungarian Artist took place in Brighton.
So many talented immigrants who live in the Uk are forced to give up their souls for constant money making. An artistic inspiration can bring them out of the routine and find meaning in their lives - away from their loved ones.

Forward Facing
Soul Sister Tasleen has invited me to take part in her fantastic project, making a music video for very ill children. I was using my styling skills and created the childrens stage hairdoes. The event was filmed by the BBC as well.

Busking Cancer - Music Photography
On 7th March we set up a Busking Cancer Evening with a fundraising bucket and photographer Mr Peter Williams was involved . The idea was to collect money on the night and take photos of performers and put them on the internet for sale.
Unfortunately we sold only one. And we didn't make much money on the night either. Oh well.
The fundraising website is still up where you can find the link for the photos of the night.
