RAGHAV

Q Are you looking forward to performing at the Bradford Mela in a few hours' time?
A I am looking forward to it, more than I've looked forward to a show in a long time because I've never been to Bradford. I think it's such an important place to be.

Q Have you ever performed at a Mela before?
A I've done a few Melas but I'm looking out there and it looks busy right now and I haven't done it in a while and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a tad nervous.

Q Are you expecting a good vibe out there?
A I am expecting a positive vibe, everyone looks like they're having a good time and I hope to contribute to that.

QWhich songs are you playing today?
A I'm gonna do a couple of tracks which hopefully everyone know and a couple of tracks which perhaps people haven't heard before

Q Can we expect to see you here next year?
A If they'll have me back next year then I'll book today and I'll come back next year.

Q
Indy, what do you think of Bradford Mela?
A I think it's very good this year, it's totally different to last year, it was a bit dead. But, do you know what I think? I think the weather is doing it!



Q
How come you're not performing?
A I've just come to chill out! I've let my hair down today. I've come to admire the crowd and watch the performances.

Q What did you think of RDB's performance and who are you looking forward to seeing?
A Their performance was wicked as usual, electrifying. I'm looking forward to seeing Raghav and Shehzad Roy so that should be fun!
