The International Sessions
Music is an international language
The
International Sessions are an attempt to find our common ground.
There is a world of harmony, friendship and solidarity out
there, and all over the world people are expressing themselves
through music.
Whatever the medium - film music, live performance, vinyl, CD,
cassette, download - it is in our hearts that music lives on. The
International Sessions are about discovering, expressing, and
sharing that heart through all age groups and in all societies.
“Andy was hosted by the junk shops
of Bombay, with the streets filled with people dancing to
the old scratched records of Bollywood soundtracks”
