Fringe Festival - Afterglow

We are thrilled that this is Darbar Fringe's third year. This urban, contemporary and classical festival celebrates the cultural relationship between the UK and the Indian subcontinent and explores the many creative influences generated by our shared and evolving history.

Darbar Fringe, celebrates music for what it is. They want to break away from pigeonholing and acknowledge our interconnectedness and interdependence as a community—to celebrate the ability of music to bring out the best in humanity. Because sharing great music is like sharing food. It transcends all boundaries. Come to be thrilled, to discover and to explore.

What do a singer/songwriter/composer,  urban visual creative, a rap artist, Indian classical violinist and an urban hang drum player have in common? Five innovative artists share a new piece of work following a five-day residency to connect urban, contemporary and classical forms and create a distinctive new sound.

Featuring Nicki Wells (contemporary vocals), Ragini Shankar (Indian classical violinist), Helms DNV (rap artist), Daniel Waples (urban hang drum) and Sukhpal Bhogal (contemporary creative video editor).
