NASHA & FRIENDS: AN INFORMAL JAM

Nasha invited musicians and other performers to come along and do an informal jam for family and friends ONLY. This was an experiment covering music of all genres, from Bollywood to Hollywood, and everything in between, whatever they were comfortable with and to collaborate on a very loose informal basis.. Rehearsals were limited and some basically got just one rehearsal to run through the material. The idea was to bring the INDO KIWI community together and just enjoy an afternoon of entertainment and mix and mingle. Performers came from all backgrounds and age groups from young to old, professional, amateur and even first timers. It was a lot of fun and was witnessed by all who attended. The concert ran for almost 3.5 hours and was held at THE BROWNZY SPORTS BAR on the North Shore..
