This is the 2nd year that NASHA have been invited to be part of the Festival Celebrations and we are sincerely honoured! The HARE KRISHNA ISKCON Committee have blessed us with this opportunity once again, this time backing The Voice Star, Pierre Edel. Pierre has been part of this international TV program, not only in Russia but participating in the Ukraine and France vesrions of the show as well. He has a Classic Rock voice and so was asked to be part of this Festival showcasing this talent. Nasha was asked to be his backing band and it was quite a challenge. The band had just one rehearsal with him, as he flew in the day before from Moscow but somehow it all came together and it ROCKED.!! Unfortuantely, the NASHA singers had to sit this one out...but hopefully we will be back in 2018 with our full band....
Here is a short video, captured by Matt Rhys. Please excuse the editing and sound...as it's NOT a professional recording...just from an Iphone

Hi Nasha: We had an amazing time, Heath said we have to go every year now- loved the music! Kids loved it too!! Heath was singing his heart out, and then came home and was inspired to drum the whole afternoon-so very inspired! - Janin Dei Conti
