Another publication on emotion in qawwali from a close comrade of our Dunelm gharana. Check it out- it’s open access!

Please join us and help spread the word.

Featuring well-loved artists like Gouri Choudhury, Baul Shohid, Hashi Rani, Amith Dey, Yamin Chowdhury (and yours truly), this evening at the cosy Pinter Studio, QMUL, will pay tribute to the many musical gatherings that have sustained the thread of what ‘home’ is, battling strife and darkness.

Dear fellow Londoners,

The Swadhinata Trust is organising a musical concert on 16 December 2025, Bijoy Dibosh, to mark its 25 years of community and social service, with the support of Queen Mary University of London.

Check out this article, hot off the press, by fellow Dunelmian, centre-staging NICM rhythms in a cross-cultural ecology. Also, another step towards shunning WEIRD biases.

Good to see this out finally. Happy to have played a teeny-tiny part in it!

Congratulations, Professor Schofield!

Please join us on the 4th of February (1300-1400 h GMT) in Durham or via Zoom if you're not in town.

2025: bring it on!

Cheers to last evening’s unplanned mini SOAS reunion!
