Can you believe that it was three years ago today that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes tied the knot? Time flies when you are having fun! It seems like just yesterday Tom Cruise was jumping up and down on Oprah's couch and that Katie was 16. And of course, one cannot forget, their epic honeymoon in Budapest... Why not go out and check out some of the venues they frequented when they were here in 2006...

Mátyás Pribojszki Band (concert)
Alcatraz, 18th November, 21:00, free
Described as one of the finest young harmonica players to emerge from Europe, Mátyás Pribojszki heads up this traditional and comtemporary blues harmonica band. He pays homage to both the legendary blues harp masters while still making room for a more contemporary style which enlightens blues crowds.
He has been invited around the world to jam at many festivals and has worked with a long list of musicians. Want to become an expert on Mátyás? Check out his website here and while you are at it give him and the band a listen at their Myspace page too.
If you are lucky this young entreprenuer might also invite you to become one of his many harmonica students, sell you his "learn to play harmonica" book and perhaps your very own harmonica.

The Poa Pratensis Band offers the traditional twang that bluegrass lovers seek. However, added to their southern charm is their Hungarian accents which make their music, especially their cover's, quite a delight.
