Creative musicians Surmeet Singh (Sitar), Chris O'Malley (Guitar & Accordion), Upneet Singh (Tabla) and Sam Proctor (Fiddle and Bodhrán) of SAA-uk’s ‘Milun’ Project are on tour this Spring and Summer.  They add seasonal warmth through their personalities, captured in each note and shared with the listener, resulting in new music that has touched the hearts of audiences.  Simply through exploring the unique and common aspects of traditional Indian and Irish music, Milun conjure musical conversations that exchange traditional motifs in a 'question and answer' form and mix the haunting sounds of Indian Raaga with the pounding energy of Irish jigs and reels.
