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. |
