Shen's News: I had a big week after getting back from India - first up a wonderful concert with Jai Uttal in Byron, and then I ended up playing 3 times at the Melting Pot Festival on Saturday and once more on Sunday! Tibet2Timbuk2 will be at Melting Pot Festival again next month.
I will be accompanying accomplished vocalist Saniya Patankar twice this weekend - on Friday evening at the Brisbane Hindu Temple and then on Saturday morning at a private function. Please contact me if you'd like to attend the morning sitting.
I'll also give special mention to Mysore Brothers, a famous violin duo performing at Judith Wright Centre tomorrow night. And watch out for brilliant North Indian violinist Kala Ramnath and tabla master Yogesh Samsi on March 14 - you can book tickets at the EthnoSuperLounge Shop at absolute bargain prices.
