Yes! we are finally on our way to London to play at Lovebox Festival on this Sunday – July 19, 2009 at 2 pm –
but sadly without our guitar-god, Vijay Joseph. His Visa was rejected for reasons only the British High Commission knows. Despite having every document in place, Vijay has been unlucky twice in a row (he was rejected last year too for the SAMA festival at New Castle).
Just when I decided that the rest of the band should not travel to London, Vishal Dadlani called in to convince me not to cancel our tour and that we should try out Varun Krishnan (ex-Zero) as the replacement guitarist who now is based in London! And when Vishal says something, it’s worth listening to!
So that’s the story – Varun will learn up all our songs in the next two days and have a long practice with the band on Saturday as soon as we land and be our replacement guitarist for all our shows including the big gig at Lovebox festival J. I spoke to Varun a few hours back and he sounded pretty confident that he will be able to cover up for Vijay (even mentioned how he learnt 20 songs in two days before a Zero gig when Warren was unavailable) But Varun, I bet u have never worn a lungi and played a gig, but then, that’s the challenge you see J!!
We have few more gigs lined up – for details visit www.raghudixit.com/uk
So here we go … We will be in London, waiting for a miracle on Sunday!
