Also worth checking out...

Grencso Bio Kollektiv (Concert)
Sirály [map] 21:00, 29th January
Saxy jazz that stands out from the standard fare by integrating influences from all over the place. He even lists Dylan although I can't hear it myself. Myspace here.

The Queen (Film)
Örökmozgó [map], 29th January, 16:30
That the Queen scores a mighty 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, may speak volumes about the extraordinary popularity of the British Royal family as much as it says about the film itself. That said, Helen Mirren is perfectly cast, even if, suprisingly, there's no female nudity.

Swing Manouche (Concert)
Pótkulcs [map], 21:00, 29th January, free
Manouche, manouche, can you do
Jean Django? That's exactly what Swing Manouche do - video here.
