Monday Night Jam at Potkulcs

potkulcsA couple months ago some groovey guys had an impromptu jam over at Potkulcs, arguably Budapest's first romkert (ruin  pub). When it was first established, only those with a latchkey could gain entrance - that is, if they could find the place. It still does not have a sign after almost 15 years, but it has added some nice birdcages in the garden. The musicians had such a good time that they decided to try and make it a regular Monday night thing. This week Ashley Brees, Brian Scoffield, Greg Zeigler, Chris Parsons, Mike Kentish, Eric Bosque and Stuart all took lead on various songs, all grinning like pigs in shit. If they could get it going, this could be a great Monday night hangout.
