Lassan sikerĂŒl kipihenni magam Ă©s utolĂ©rni a teendĆimmel a mĂșlt heti ElsĆ Magyar CsalĂĄdi HĂ©tvĂ©ge â Walesben utĂĄn.
Ăs micsoda hĂ©tvĂ©ge volt! Ez volt az idei elsĆ nagy rendezvĂ©nyem, ahol nemcsak hangtechnikus, hanem DJ is voltam.
Az idĆjĂĄrĂĄs fantasztikus volt â szinte olyan forrĂłsĂĄg, mint egy perzselĆ nyĂĄri napon MagyarorszĂĄgon. Ez kĂŒlönösen kedvezett a vĂzi sportok szerelmeseinek. A Spring Valley Lake megtelt kajakokkal, kenukkal, Ă©s mĂ©g bĂșvĂĄrkodĂĄsra is volt lehetĆsĂ©g a kristĂĄlytiszta, 10â11 mĂ©ter mĂ©ly vĂzben.
PĂ©nteken a nagy melegre valĂł tekint***el az elsĆ koncert szabadtĂ©ren kerĂŒlt megrendezĂ©sre, ami izgalmassĂĄ t***e a hangosĂtĂĄst szĂĄmomra â mivel a nagy sĂĄtorban ĂĄllĂtottam össze mindent, egy rĂ©szĂ©t ki kellett telepĂteni. De sebaj, megoldottam!
Az aznapi banda a Legal Alien's volt. Könnyed dallamok, ismert populĂĄris dalok csendĂŒltek fel. Csak utĂłlag tudtam meg, hogy a zenekar kizĂĄrĂłlag erre az alkalomra ĂĄllt össze! Megdöbbentett, mennyire összeszokottan Ă©s hanyag profizmussal zenĂ©ltek egyĂŒtt.
EzutĂĄn következett a retrĂł diszkĂł â Ă©s velem a pultban. đ
Be kell valljam, igazi magyar retrĂł bulit Ă©vek Ăłta nem csinĂĄltam, de ahogy ĂĄtpörgettem a zenelistĂĄmat, a rĂ©gi emlĂ©kek is elĆjöttek. Szinte maguktĂłl ĂĄlltak össze a fejemben a zenĂ©k â mikor mi jöjjön, hogyan Ă©pĂtsem fel az estĂ©t.
Szombaton napközben vĂĄltozatos programokkal Ă©s ĂnycsiklandĂł Ă©telekkel vĂĄrtĂĄk a napijegyes vendĂ©geket is. EgĂ©sz nap igyekeztem magyar zenĂ©ket jĂĄtszani, hogy mindenki Ă©rezze: ez egy magyar rendezvĂ©ny. đđș
Este a Csonâti-Z Band vette birtokba a szĂnpadot. SajĂĄt dalaik mellett örökzöld slĂĄgereket is hallhattunk tĆlĂŒk. BĂĄr ketten voltak, egy teljes zenekart "kit***ek"!
DobgĂ©p Bluetooth-on, fĂŒlmonitor-rendszer, Ă©s egyĂ©b szakmai finomsĂĄgok â modern, mĂĄr-mĂĄr high-tech megoldĂĄsok. ImĂĄdtam! â€ïž
Majd jött a Mango Lé nagykoncertje.
Ha egy szĂłval kellene jellemeznem Ćket: energikus.
FeldolgozĂĄsaik Ășj lendĂŒletet adnak a megszokott klasszikusoknak â Ă©pphogy nem metĂĄl, de ugyanĂșgy âajtĂłstĂłl rontanak a hĂĄzbaâ! Lehetetlen nem tĂĄncolni vagy Ă©nekelni, miközben jĂĄtszanak â teljesen magĂĄval ragad a lendĂŒletĂŒk.
Ăs vĂ©gĂŒl: maga a rendezvĂ©ny. Teljes mĂ©rtĂ©kben hƱ volt a nevĂ©hez â csalĂĄdi hĂ©tvĂ©ge.
MesĂ©s környezet, egy tĂłval a völgy közepĂ©n, hegyekkel körĂŒlvĂ©ve â igazi paradicsom a kempingezĆknek.
BarĂĄtsĂĄgos emberek mindenhol, a gyerekek csapatokban fedeztĂ©k fel a környĂ©ket, ismerkedtek Ă©s jĂĄtszottak â hol itt, hol ott.
Ăn csak nĂ©hĂĄny embert ismertem elĆre, de a vĂ©gĂ©re olyan Ă©rzĂ©s volt, mintha mindig is barĂĄtok lettĂŒnk volna, csak rĂ©gen talĂĄlkoztunk.
TörtĂ©netek Ă©s nĂ©vjegykĂĄrtyĂĄk cserĂ©ltek gazdĂĄt, Ășj ismeretsĂ©gek szövĆdtek, közössĂ©gi oldalakon is.
Minden asztalnĂĄl szĂvesen lĂĄtott vendĂ©g voltĂĄl â Ă©s persze cinkos mosollyal kĂnĂĄltĂĄk az âĂĄsvĂĄnyvizetâ (Ă©rtsd: a hĂrhedt magyar pĂĄlinkĂĄt đ).
Hatalmas köszönet SĂĄfrĂĄny TamĂĄsnak Ă©s fiĂĄnak, BendegĂșznak, tovĂĄbbĂĄ "ZsenyĂĄnak" a fĆszervezĆknek Ă©s az egĂ©sz csapatnak, akik szĂvvel-lĂ©lekkel dolgoztak azon, hogy ez a hĂ©tvĂ©ge ilyen kĂŒlönleges legyen.
NĂ©lkĂŒlĂŒk mindez nem jöhetett volna lĂ©tre â örök hĂĄlĂĄval tartozunk nekik! đ
BĂŒszke vagyok, hogy rĂ©szese lehettem.
Ha valaki megkĂ©rdeznĂ©, hogy jövĆre ott leszek-e a MĂĄsodik Magyar CsalĂĄdi HĂ©tvĂ©gĂ©n â Walesben?
HabozĂĄs nĂ©lkĂŒl mondanĂĄm: IGEN! đ
đž Ăme nĂ©hĂĄny kĂ©p â a teljessĂ©g igĂ©nye nĂ©lkĂŒl:

Slowly but surely, Iâm catching up with myself after last week's First Hungarian Family Weekend in Wales.
And what a weekend it was! This was my first big event of the year, where I wasnât just the sound engineer â I was also the DJ! đ§
The weather was absolutely amazing â just as hot as a scorching summer day in Hungary. âïž
Perfect conditions for water sports lovers! The Spring Valley Lakes was filled with kayaks and canoes, and there was even an option to go diving in the crystal-clear, 10â11 metre deep water.
On Friday, due to the heat, the first concert was held outdoors â which made things a little more exciting for me during the setup. đ
I originally prepared everything in the big tent, so some gear had to be relocated â but no worries, we made it work!
The band that day was Legal Alien's â smooth melodies and popular songs filled the air.
To my surprise, I later learned they had only come together for this one event! I was blown away by how tight and effortlessly professional they sounded.
Then it was time for the retro disco, with me behind the decks. đ¶
Honestly, I hadnât done a proper Hungarian retro party in years, but as I scrolled through my playlist, old memories came flooding back.
In my mind, the set just built itself â one track after another, creating the perfect vibe.
Saturday brought a mix of great programs and mouth-watering food and sweets from the vendors â and the gates opened for the day-ticket guests too.
Throughout the day, I played only Hungarian music to make sure the atmosphere felt 100% like a Hungarian event. đđș
In the evening, Csonâti-Z Band took the stage. Despite being only a duo, they filled it like a full band!
Bluetooth drum machines, in-ear monitoring, and other technical delights â modern, nearly high-tech solutions. I loved it! â€ïž
Next up was the Mango LĂ© main concert.
If I had to describe them in one word, it would be: energetic. đ„
Their covers give a fresh twist to classic hits â itâs not quite metal, but it still kicks down the door!
Impossible not to dance or sing along â their energy is just contagious.
Now letâs talk about the event itself.
It truly lived up to its name â a real *family weekend*. đïž
A magical setting in a valley among the hills, with a beautiful lake at the centre. A paradise for campers.
The people were incredibly friendly, the kids made friends in groups and explored the area with endless curiosity.
I only knew a handful of people beforehand, but by the end, it felt like we had all been friends for years â just hadnât seen each other in a while.
Stories and business cards were exchanged, new connections were made â both in person and online.
At every table, you were a welcome guest â and there were many knowing winks when someone offered a glass of âmineral waterâ (read: the famous Hungarian pĂĄlinka đ).
A huge thank you to TamĂĄs SĂĄfrĂĄny and his son, BendegĂșz also to "Zsenya", the main organisers, and his entire team, who put their heart and soul into making this weekend so special.
None of it would have been possible without them â we are truly grateful! đ
Iâm proud to have been a part of it.
If anyone asks whether Iâll be at the Second Hungarian Family Weekend in Wales next year, my answer is simple: YES! đ
đž Here are a few pictures â just a glimpse of it all:
