Our Stories...

Sommerfesten 2011

Sommerfesten 2011

We had heard legendary stories about this festival and our business manager, Robert, had hyped it up just enough to get us all excited about it, then came the customary visa related drama, but thanks to the awesome Norwegian embassy in Delhi, that got sorted just in time!

Then Raghu’s work almost cancelled the trip and then the Bombay rains came close to making us miss our flights, but after all that drama, when we finally landed in ‘Alesund’, a small island town a couple of hours north from Oslo, in Norway, it was like we were served a slice of heaven!

Its not unusual, I found out, for people who come to Sommerfesten to go back singing its praises! as you will find us doing. We’ve taken tons of photos and video, but nothing can come close to the feeling of awesomeness that engulfs you when you land in Alesund and Giske, it is a must visit for everyone!

Rhythms of the World

Its not everyday that you get to headline a music festival and certainly not a 30,000 people festival and then to have this said about your performance by the director of the festival

“I wanted to thank you personally & also on behalf of Rhythms of the World for bringing Raghu to the festival.

I know when we booked the headline slot back in November we both had complete faith that this would work but the performance on Saturday exceeded all of my expectations and will stay with me forever. The energy from the stage transferred to the crowd and continued to build throughout the whole performance.

I’ve had an incredible amount of positive feedback with many people saying the performance was the highlight of their festival & know our local record shop has been selling Raghu CD’s over the last couple of days”

Glastonbury 2011

Glastonbury 2011

If you have anything to do with music, you have heard of Glastonbury, and until you go there, you will have heard various versions of how it will actually be. From the rain to the mud, to the massiveness of it to how much you have to walk, to sleeping and living in camps to your first pair of Wellies.

But until you actually set foot on to the festival site, the image in your head is NOTHING compared to the real thing.

Glastonbury is the ultimate music festival, and I say that not because of its size or because of the variety of acts that play there, but because of the general vibe of the festival and the human spirit that prevails there.

Catching Up and the IHC

Catching Up and the IHC

You know when things are moving so fast that everything is a blur?! Yep. Those!

The last month for us has just been a blur or activity and sometimes, it feels like we are out-doing ourselves just by catching up. And that has somehow become the norm.

Its time to sit back and take a look at last month and tell all of you about one of its highlights!

We’ve known Vimlendu and Swechha for a while now and have always endeavored to help them as much as possible and when we were actually able, with a LOT of juggling of our schedules, visa appointments and flight tickets, make it to Delhi in time for the gig, we were quite shocked that it was actually happening!

Songlines 2011 – Best Newcomer!

WE WON, WE WON, WE WON!!

We’ve been really good about this and have kept it from all of you for so long now, and it feels good to finally be able to ‘go tell it on the mountains!’ – We won the Songlines 2011 Award for Best Newcomer!

Here is what Simon Broughton, Editor-in-Chief of the Songlines Magazine had to say –

“I think Raghu Dixit is an artist to watch – and a man with a mission. He’s a talented songwriter, with a real melodic gift and his voice has the power to transport an audience. He’s already a big name in India, but is now building his reputation over here. His recent concert at the South Bank’s Alchemy festival was brilliant – and included a collaboration with fellow Songlines Award winners Bellowhead. His appearance at Glastonbury this year can only help.”

"Great voice. Great songs. Modern India that hasn't forgotten it's roots. I loved it when I heard it in India & I still do. 10/10."
