Sat 26 Jul Mt Gravatt: Hindustani Classical Vocal Recital by Smt. Madhuri Risbud

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I got busy posting photos to my blog last night so you can sample what I've been up to lately, including photos of
"Time for Tibet" featuring Tibet2Timbuk2, and a write-up on the final Forest Wednesday with thanks to all the folks who've been involved.

I'm getting more and more deeply involved with the Indian community of Brisbane as evidenced by my busy weekend. I've posted photos of the "One World" concert where I accompanied sitar player Shrabani Choudhury, and a whole bunch of the "Tamil Talents 08" gala night, featuring students from 10 Indian cultural schools and including 3 of my own tabla students. They were great. Then on Sunday I was lucky enough to hear of the performance of touring Indian singer Anuradha Paudwal at Brisbane Hindu Temple. I've even posted a Youtube video of that one! :-)

I'm planning to attend the Hindustani Classical Vocal Recital by Smt. Madhuri Risbud in Mt Gravatt's Progress Hall this Saturday night.

Sat 19 Jul Indooroopilly: Tamil Talents 2008 - feat. Shen's tabla students

Hi folks,

Shen's News: We got some great photos of Tibet2Timbuk2 from our concert in City Hall last month. I'll post some photos of our Zoo shows plus the last Forest Wednesday session by next week.

I am participating in two Indian community events this weekend; firstly, a charity concert/dinner in Bardon on Friday evening at which I'll be accompanying sitar player Shrabani Choudhury. Then on Saturday evening 3 of my young tabla students will be performing at Tamil Talents 2008, along with students from 9 other Indian cultural schools. (Look out for my first full student concert at the Inaugural Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert next month.)

I'd also like to give a shout out to Fabio, a fantastic Zimbabwean mbira player on tour from Tasmania, who is performing at the West End Club on Friday night.

World music Wednesdays @ The Forest

Hi folks,

Shen's News: Wow, what a great musical week I've had. (Unfortunately no photos to show for it.) Shows with
Tibet2Timbuk2 in the grand Main Auditorium of City Hall on Tuesday and outdoors at the Northey St Solstice Festival, plus 3 shows with American kirtan singer Dave Stringer in Byron and Gold Coast. On Wednesday I saw the wonderful Anoushka Shankar Project - Anoushka on sitar and the fantastic Tanmoy Bose on tabla were joined by South Indian bansuri/kanjira, cello and grand piano. Quite lovely.

I'm now counting down to my trip to Japan from August 21, and in the meantime Tenzin, Marcello and I will be putting a lot of spare days into recording a new T2T2 CD. I'm also planning a concert for my tabla students on August 9, which will be lots of fun so look out for that. I suspect I might wind up my Forest Wednesday sessions soon....

Tue 17 Jun noon Brisbane: Tibet2Timbuk2 - Tenzin, Marcello, Shen

Hi folks,

Shen's News: The performance of Rubaiyat of Omar Khaiyyam in Sandgate on Saturday was a big success - an encore and a standing ovation! Thanks to Zoli of Music by the Sea for inviting us.

No big events on my calendar this weekend, but next Tuesday lunchtime Tibet2Timbuk2 are playing in Brisbane City Hall's Main Auditorium, 1230-130, and it's free! We'll have special guest Asim Gorashi joining us for a few songs too.

I also highly recommend The Anoushka Shankar Project next Wednesday at QPAC. I'll be taking a week off the usual Forest Wednesday sessions for that one!

Wed 28 May West End: International Hug a Musician Day (World music @ The Forest?)

Hi folks,

Shen's News: We had a really fun Tibet2Timbuk2 gig in Graceville on Saturday night. It really is a great little band, and we've got some good shows in the pipeline over the next few months, starting with a lunchtime concert at BCC in a few weeks (link below).

Facebook tells me that this Wednesday is International Hug a Musician Day. Well, if you don't want to miss out, remember there are a bunch of nice musicians at The Forest (124 Boundary St, West End) every Wednesday! ;-)
