It’s not every day that one gets the opportunity to put together such a plethora of musicians to perform on one stage and I was fortunate enough to be around for the second edition of the Friends Music Festival.
The madness started about ten days before the festival when we got all the sponsors together and the ad campaign started. Hoarding, Print ads and Radio Promos all sending the message out to the people of Kolkata that 91.9 Friends FM was celebrating its 2nd Anniversary with the Friends Music Festival at Nazrul Manch from 27th Feb upto 1st march 2009. The artists had been lined up and now it was critical that all sound checks and stage set-ups were in order to get the show on the road. Tickets were sent out to various locations for sale and the Complimentary & VIP Invites disappeared in the blink of an eye. I had spent an entire weekend getting all them designed & printed and believe you me, when they got to the office I didn’t get to see the final product, until I think a day before the show. Well at least am glad that people are that enthusiastic about getting invited to this one of a kind musical soiree.
