Inspired by travels with his father to the Punjab region of the Indian sub-continent, Raja immersed himself in the musical culture of his South Asian roots. He now merges his rich musical heritage with a hugely diverse playing experience to create dynamic and passionate music that blends East with West.

 

Guthrie Govan is hailed as one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, possessing jaw-dropping technical prowess fused with heartfelt emotional expression.


Soweto Kinch, multi-award-winning saxophonist, brings his fearless brand of jazz to the stage, pushing boundaries with every note.


Expect a spellbinding journey through spiritual jazz, fiery funk and cosmic improvisation, performed by a world-class band at the height of their powers.
