Shillong,
Aug 26: It is going to be the biggest musical show in this
part of the country. Europe`s most popular band, Michael Learns
to Rock, sets foot in the music-crazy hill station on October 1.
It will be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Sports Complex in Polo
Ground - the same place where two popular bands - Petra
and Firehouse - performed magnificent shows last year.
Michael Learns to Rock has chosen Shillong as one among the three
cities in India for the tour - after Bangalore on September
26 and Mumbai on September 28.
The show is organised by Centre Point Entertainment Network and
the band`s India trip is handled by Mahesh Bhupathi`s
Globosport Management Company. Apart from the local people, music lovers from as far as Siliguri,
Kolkata and Darjeeling, is expected to arrive to enjoy the show.
Songs like Sleeping child, Actor, That`s why, Someday and
Paint my love, of the band become hugely popular tunes. The Danish
band consist of vocalist and keyboard player Jascha Richter, drummer
Kare Wanscher and guitarist Mikkel Lentz.
According to Bhupathi, Shillong was chosen as the only place in
the east because people were very passionate about music, especially,
western-music.
`Wed always endeavored at Globosport to bring an international
band to North-East India. And luckily my team includes people from
Shillong, so it gives us great pride to bring MLTR to Shillong`,
said Bhupathi.
Some part of the fund will go to the Journalists’ Welfare
fund to help members of the Shillong Press Club in need of financial
assistance. |
