:::::::::::::::::STOP PRESS::::::::::::::::: WE ARE VERY VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE OUR LINE UP FOR 2009 Our headliner this year is... THE DHOL FOUNDATION
Led by the irrepressible and fantastically charismatic Johnny Kalsi, Dhol Drummer with The Afro Celts, this show features a vast array of musical styles, Drum and Bass, Tabla, Hip Hop and Bhangra… all delivered with great theatre and with more than a bit of Celtic influence doubtless gained from Johnny’s work with the Afro Celts. “Led by effervescent showman (and member of the Afro-Celts) Johnny Kalsi, this collective have become a staple diet for audiences around the world” The Independent The Dhol Foundation is now both a dhol drum institute in London and an incredible group playing Bhangra music. The Dhol is a traditional North Indian instrument made from a large wooden shell played with cane on one side and a hard curved stick on the other. Vibrant and loud, the infectious beats rush through the sound of electronica elements together with folk traditions of song and dance of the Punjab. The Dhol Foundation make up the amazing & mighty sound with choreographed moves and a high energetic performance not to be missed. The band have had their music in Hollywood films such as ‘Gangs of New York’ and ‘Incredible Hulk’ and also have done work on soundtracks with Peter Gabriel on films such as ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’ and ‘The Last Temptation of Christ’. They opened the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006 performing with a spectacular array of international performers. They opened the Live Earth concert alongside other drummers from around the globe on June 7th 2007 and have performed numerous times at the WOMAD festival, so have a wealth of experience all over the world.
