Strings 'n Skins

Welcome and greetings...

Hola

Hope all of you are fine, and getting through the winter chills that embrace us for these 3 months.

Although, the fresh smell of winter does bring promises of a bushveld festival dear to us all. Yes, Strings & Skins shall be performing at

OPPIKOPPI 2010!!!

See you through the fire.

The new album 'In The Clouds' - Steve Newman, Ashish Joshi & Greg Georgiades - is available at our gigs. You can also purchase the songs online at thatgig.com.

Check out the 'GIGS' page for upcoming gigs and happenings. Join us if you feel for some rhythmic interpretations of African sounds and melodic enchantments. I'm sure you would...

Don't forget, we are both up and running on Facebook and there is a Strings & Skins group as well as a Vivid Afrika group there for you to join if you are not already on there.

Passages in Time is going... so get your copy soon - or it just might be too late.

Mampoer is strong...

Prayer is stronger...

Chemicals take you nowhere.

Peace to Africa.

Ashish
