Wednesday 30 April
The first set of rehearsals for the big night have been completed, with BG declaring himself extremely happy with the result. The concert will see the Russian legend perform with 14 virtuoso musicians from all around the world. Here is a very nice shot of Boris having a nice moment alone with his guitar in the studio...
India and Ireland: Boris with harmonium player Arpan Patel (left) and Becky Taylor (right). Half of the musicians will be playing instruments of Indian and Irish origin: Arpan will be joined by Sheema Mukherjee on sitar, Alok Verma on tabla and Maria Pomianowska on sarangi, whereas Becky will be joined by two other leading UK-based Irish musicians, Brian Finnegan on flute and John Joe Kelly on bodhrбn.
Old friends: BG will also be joined by two of his fellow Aquarium members, Sasha Titov on bass (left) and Boris Rubekin on keyboards.
