If ever a marriage was made in heaven then this was it. The Bollywood Brass Band mix that most traditional of English noises, the brass band, with Bollywood film music. Genius. In celebration of esteemed film score composer AR Rahman’s 50th birthday and the 70th anniversary year of Indian independence, The BBB will be performing songs exclusively from Rahman’s extensive canon of work, mixed live with clips from the films. Have you seen Slumdog Millionaire? Then you are familiar with Rahman’s work. A real treat live, performing with an energy and enthusiasm that is infectious.We can’t wait. Jai Ho.
