Bookings are still open for six available dates. Please contact concerts@hampshiremedia.com for more information. Twenty-three year old Arnab, who describes himself as an “eclectic mix of the old and the new”, is a disciple of Buddhadev Dasgupta, one of the legends of this fretless instrument that instantly reminds one of the banjo. He also says he is “deeply influenced” by the music of Ustad Amjad Ali Khan.
