Delighted to have had Shakir Khan the eighth generation Sitarist of Ettawah Gharana with us for the last month performing and teaching as part of International Sitar Festival. Thankful to the Sitar-uk team for the support.
A big thank you to Nishkam Centre for yesterday’s concert of Shakir Khan on Sitar with Surdarshan Singh on Tabla. Lovely to see the community enjoying so much. Looking forward to the Liecester concert on Sat 30th March. Sitar https://t.co/HmcAWV3zDm
Remembering my Ustad the great and only one Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb on his anniversary today. Always in our hearts and his music is everywhere. Miss you ABBA.
"He was my guru, mentor, teacher and father. He was a great philosopher, an evangelist for music. He really carried forward the heritage of Indian classical music all over the world to the very end of his life."
— Ustad Nishat Khan
The Great Gatsby of Indian sitar-Ustad Vilayat Khan https://t.co/JPgw3kunjU should be a good read!

"Vilayat Khan would be invited to play every night to a very ill Jawaharlal Nehru, to help him gently fall asleep."
A great evening witnessing the vocal arangetram of Samyukta Arun, trained by her Guru Manorama Prashad. Such high standard in UK makes me so upbeat about the ever enriching culture of this awesome country.

Feeling so indebted to my father Sardar Surjit Singh for his role in my life. Also makes me remember the almighty father who is the cause of the creation.
The great maestro of Sarod Pt. Budhadev Das Gupta leaves this world. He will be missed. We had great time with him in Leeds. His legacy lives on through worthy students.
Watching this documentary has left me full of gratitude and Love for Warer the most miraculous element we take it for granted. Please watch. https://t.co/gGYTURtBWC
