Sat 4 Jul Mt Gravatt: 2nd Annual Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert

Hi folks,

Shen's News: A few blogs of recent activities this week - some snaps of the bonfire at
Winter Solstice Festival,
Feridun's Sunday afternoon world music sessions, and last but by no means least, a full rundown on last Saturday's
1st Annual Brisbane Indian Music Festival! It was a great event.

This Saturday my students and I are all very excited about the 2nd Annual Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert to be held in Progress Hall, Mt Gravatt from 6pm to 9pm. You'll be able to hear all my best students from ages 8 to 50+ doing their thing, as well as my own full-length tabla solo.

I'm pretty sure Elliott has a Pulse that night too, but he hasn't added the details to my calendar yet. If you're percussion-mad, you can come to both! :-)

Have you got your copy of Tibet2Timbuk2's new CD "Music is Life" yet? It's a great CD, so please check it out at the EthnoSuperLounge Shop. Proceeds go to support Tibetan Children's Village. If you've heard it and like it, please check out 20 easy ways to help Tibet2Timbuk2.

Sat 27 Jun West End: 1st Annual Indian Music Festival

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I hope to see you at the 1st Annual Indian Music Festival in Ahimsa House, West End this Saturday. I'll be accompanying my girlfriend Yuki's dhrupad singing some time around 5pm, then later in the night I'll be doing a tabla solo (accompanied by Yuki on harmonium) and also accompanying Saikat Bhattacharya (sitar) and Rahim Zullah (vocal). There will be many more performances including Kathak dance so don't miss out. I hope that this event will flower and grow over the years.

Then next Saturday my students and I are all very excited about the 2nd Annual Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert to be held in Progress Hall, Mt Gravatt from 6pm to 9pm. I'm pretty sure Elliott has a Pulse that night too, but he hasn't added the details to my calendar yet. If you're percussion-mad, you can come to both! :-)

Fri 12 Jun Ocean Shores: Vinod Prasanna (bansuri)

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I had a nice show with Jaadu (jazz piano and guitar meets world music in the shape of Asim Gorashi and myself) in the Queen St Mall on Saturday, and then headed up to The Dreaming Festival on Sunday and Monday. I didn't get my camera out so I've not posted anything bloggy. Anyway, the weather was beautiful wasn't it?!

This week I don't have any concerts but wanted to announce Vinod Prasanna's concert in Ocean Shores on Friday. Vinod is a bansuri player from Varanasi, now living in Melbourne - we lived in the same house in Varanasi a few years back! He also has a private show in Brisbane on Saturday, if you're in the know...

As for my own upcoming concerts put June 27 (1st Annual Indian Music Festival) and July 4 (2nd Annual Ashu Babu Memorial Tabla School Concert) in your diary - they look to be memorable events.
