UK:Thunder and Lightning Display Setting for Goan Musical Thunder and Lightning display with 20,000 electrical storms in the early hours of Sunday 27th May 2018 over London and South England was nature’s setting for Grina Pereira’s Musical Extravaganza opening night at Villiers High School Southall where our younger children with 30 songs, 2 dances and 4 part comedy supported by adults brought to life captivating an audience for an evening showcasing our Konkani Songs, Music. Comedy and Dance along with a ruchichem Goan supper.
Only a dedicated volunteer workforce could have laid on a Champagne event not Prosecco at beer prices. You would be hard pressed to be entertained with music, comedy and a delicious and tasty Goan 6 course Buffet including Sorpotel , Chicken Xacuti and Mango miskut supplied by Grinas Catering (07846657791) all for Stg.£10.00. It is refreshing to note we still have honest people in Breadline Britain. Credit must also go to the marketing and backup of volunteers headed by Grina, Peter, Greg, Simon and Francisco. The show opened with music by Frampton, Sound by Proto, Stage lighting and special effects by Greg and Compered by Roque & Ciana Photo Credit: Rose Fernandes Picture shows our participating young people with their personalised memento of the Musical Extravaganza with Grina true ambassadors for Goa and our music. Tribute must be paid to their patriotic parents for inspiring and encouraging our next generation in preserving our music and language Konkani not forgetting the support of the audience some of who travelled long distances, this brilliant musical would not have taken place.
