Any other lovers of this much misunderstood and maligned genre?

not quite, but if u enjoy music from the indian subcontinent, I strongly advise you to check out music by, Fundamental, State of Bengal, ADF, Ananda Shanka, U Shrinivas
& the amazing Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. There are lots more ive missed out..........

Thanks!

is that a picture of you in full bollywood gear in your profile there phil? must say you scrub up quite nicely.

who'd of thought it would make you look so feminine.

incidentally, i notice you're listening to donovan. did you know he's playing glasgow soon? big poster of it on the side of r & b music.

Hehe, no it's not me, it's actress Zeenat Aman.

I can barely afford to go to a gig in Aberdeen never mind one in Glasgow.

Looks like I'm alone in my liking for Bollywood!

not alone, isn't it something like the second biggest film industry behind hollywood? could be wrong about that. just a lack of appreciation in aberdeen i feel.

personally not my cup of tea, though i did used to watch kabadi all the time when i was younger on channel four. that game is nuts.

If anyones interested, check out the beautiful singing of Lata Mangeshkar... sublime!

I remember there used to be an Indian music program on Sturday mornings (Ch 4 I think) which often featured her singing. My ex-wife bought some albums.

We have a 3cd collection of Bollywood movie music for use in my work. The "Funky Bollywood" cd has some great stuff on it.

i remember there was some sort of 'bollywood season' on channel 4 last year, and i watched nearly all of the films they showed. there was the old classic stuff, but more contemporary indian cinema, and they were all much better than most of the stuff from hollywood. i think i may research this further, having been reminded..
