Artist Siddhi Yadav at Woodford in The Deep Blue Group Orchestra
Feb 8, 2014

DeepBlue’s new show India Stories premieres at Woodford on 27th and 28th December. It’s about our
time in India and tells the stories of the young musicians of Dharavi, Mumbai’s largest slum where
this creative collaboration began.
Also come to our New Year’s Eve gig for some of DeepBlue’s favourite party tunes.
Check out DeepBlue’s Facebook page to see photos of our 2013 tour of Delhi, Ahmedabad and
Mumbai. The tour, which was a great mix of concerts and workshops, was kindly supported by QUT and
DFAT.
We thought we should show you some of our inspiration for our India Stories show at Woodford Folk
Festival this year!! In 2012 DeepBlue performed in Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
DeepBlue were invited to perform in OzFest (Which
is the biggest Australian cultural festival ever staged in India) and supported by their sponsors
Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
The tour involved a series of performances and workshops at BlueFROG venues across India, the
National Institute of Design, Private and corporate shows and workshops at schools and with kids
from the Dharvi Rocks program in the Mumbai slums.
We were so inspired by our trip that we have developed a festival show called "India Stories" which
we will be premiering at Woodford Folk Festival with a sand artist from Mumbai called Siddhi Yadav.
