VARANASI Birmingham hosted The West End Bhangra Musical UK Tour press conference for media and sponsors on Thursday 2nd May 2019.
Dips Bhamrah from BBC Asian Network began the evening by talking about the visions and desire for The West End Bhangra Musical nationwide tour a never seen before musical event for Bhangra music.
The press panel consisted of artists performing on tour and the main organisers who went on to answer all press and sponsors questions. Overall the response on the evening was phenomenal from all as media felt there is a need for events in the UK such as The West End Bhangra Musical UK Tour especially with the calibre of talent on the tour.
Based in theatres around the UK, The West End Bhangra Musical will combine live music, stage production and an experience that raises the level of Bhangra music events.
Not only will it showcase 4 of the Premier UK Bhangra artists of all time – Heera, DCS, Apna Sangeet & Pardesi all accompanied by The Legends Band. The same stage will also be shared by new talent from different communities and musical genres to create a diverse musical to show that music truly is a universal language.
The West End Bhangra Musical is a project which has been conceived by 4 individuals who collectively have had many successes on the music scene. From local and international live Bhangra music performances, social media content production, event & film promotions, music education coupled with their decades of passion for Bhangra music, this has bought them together for this unique musical project.
