It is good to know that other cities are getting the benefit of this function, and not just Chennai

[Rsachi]

Abhishek with keyboard accompaniment! That sounds intriguing. Hope it works out indeed and I can catch the stream.

@Rsaschi as a fan of Sri. Abhishek Raghuram, i always wanted something like this to happen and sincerely thank The Almighty, Sri. AR and the Organisers of BSU for this! i sincerely hope it comes out well and I sincerely believe this is a recognition to the instrument and the artist. I pray The Almighty for the success of this concept which will go a long way to change the perception of many with regard to the instrument per se.

Guys
both radiowalla.in and radioweb.in have some way to go I think - to offer basic features like
-Robust connectivity and log in
-time shift play via playlist mode and bookmarking
-onscreen display of current, past and future programming
-issue redressal for broken links/interruptions via online/phone support
- real human announcers

[mahavishnu]

^ Agreed. And most of them (except for the connectivity issues) are easy fixes.
Keeping the listeners informed when something goes wrong is critical.

Pleased to inform you all of the review in The Hindu, Coimbatore on Bharat Sangeet Utsav, Coimbatore available in the link http://www.thehindu.com/arts/music/an-e ... ?css=print

I am indeed thank ful for the reference in the review of Sri. Abhishek Raghuram's concert, "His bursting swara challenges were met with elan by Sathyanarayanan who could coax the keyboard into portraying the tender nuances of the ragas", which will surely go a long way in the instrument and Sathya's career in Carnatic Music.
