This is NASHA's 5th invitation to be part of Auckland's biggest and most entertaining Holi Festival at the Iskcon Hare Krishna Ashram. The band was contacted 3.5 weeks before the date and were requested a change from the usual repertoire! No Bollywood or Bhangra...but a switch to Western Pop and a Party theme, to entertain the young audience, aged 14-30!! Once again there was a request for dancers and a horn section...so we obliged. This necessitated a change to the lineup, to accommodate the request (Budget restraints!!) A new team was brought in...and did they deliver!! It was a FUN afternoon...with a relatively early start at 1PM. Our thanks to the Krishna Holi Committee and Rhythm House Events for a spectacular party!!
