Granárium Zebra Club

The Zebra Club is considered the predecessor of the "A Club", founded in 1989 at the dawn of the regime change, where the "A" referred to the word "alternative", indicating that the club wanted to depart from the mainstream, both in terms of its cultural and musical programmes, although the founders of the club may not have known the word at the time. It was all about rebellion, and helping the energy of youth to emerge and create. The club was founded on two parallel lines, one (the harder) line was represented by Zoltán Bencze (Csáklyás) and Pál Kohut (Kojak), while the other was represented by Ákos Szilvássy (Geri) and László Pálinkás (Lambee). The idea was greatly helped by the director of the then Péter Vajda Cultural Centre, who supported the idea and made the cellar club of the "art house" available to them.
