BlueNote at the BAGHA

This week BlueNote are playing at the British Expat (BAGHA) Club here in Dhaka. The BAGHA have offered to donate all proceeds from tickets to the BNWLA Hostel Appeal. We're grateful for this very kind gesture.

Live at Le Saigon

We played our first Le Saigon gig as BlueNote last night, after our earlier appearance as part of Renaissance. Loud but appreciative crowd, including some of our very own FaceBook groupies (thanks Mehreen!) We also raffled some photography books to raise money for BNWLA too.

Shammu, the owner is promising to take us to Kolkata. Hope he means to play there... rather than just leaving us on the street.

Reception for Indian High Commissioner

We played last night at a reception for the Indian High Commissioner in the fabulous palace that is Shahab and Aisha Sattar's home. Various ambassadors from other countries such as Thailand and Sri Lanka also attended, as well as a bevvy of glittering beauties...























The audience responded with huge enthusiasm to this new sound, bringing a new meaning to the term 'movers and shakers'.










A good time had by all, and lots more contacts for BlueNote. Next stop the Queen? The Pope?

Live at Club Nordic

BlueNote played live at Club Nordic last night. Well over a hundred people packed in for an evening of classy music, G&Ts and Italian food (in that order).









Not content with us playing till 11.30, the crowds clamoured for more, and we eventually got out of there at 1am. The manager said this had been easily the best musical event ever held at the club.

Bangla New Year Gig

Andrew played with Arnob at the big New Year festival gig at the Hotel Regency in Dhaka. It rocked! (Can I still write that at the age of 42?) Here's a pic. More gigs and collaboration in the pipeline.
