Qatar: The most awaited event “The 15th Annual May Queen Ball” brought to you by the Goan Welfare Association Qatar is all set to roll on 7th May 2015 at The Radisson Blu Doha. Simon D’Silva, president of the GWA, said that the event which is an annual feature has grown from strength to strength over the years. This year being the 15th edition the organization is planning a mega celebration, he said.
The highlight of the event will be crowning of 15th May Queen by Bollywood Stars.
Goa’s No. 1 band ‘THE FOREFRONT” will perform through the night and teaming up with the band will be Goa’s Ace compere Updesh Swar.
Forefront took off into the music world for over a decade and from then it was no looking back. The band took off right from the start by performing for all the top shows in Goa and across India and abroad.
The success story of Forefront lies in the music they play, with strong stage presence and a distinct ability in sensing the pulse of their audiences.
Their extensive repertoire of music such as English retro, Bollywood, latest from billboard charts and rock music is what makes every party a big success.
The band is powered by five top musicians with Agatha on vocals, Savio on drums and vocals, Brendan on keyboards and vocals, Melvin on guitar and vocals, Seby on Bass and vocals. Melvin also plays the Punjabi Dhol.
Their tight musical combination attracts everyone’s attention at a party or at a concert. When the band takes center stage, they are show stoppers and with Updesh Swar at the helm, they are lethal and can set the dance-floor on fire. The crowd shouting out for more and not wanting to leave the floor is a common feature for every show.
Forefront is the only band in India who can play a wide genre of music with perfection.
Their performance in Macau China was a feather in their cap. They represented Goa for the “15th Lusofonia Festival ” which was held in Macau. Their performance earned them 2nd place among nine countries including Brazil and Portugal.
Forefront’s electrifying performance for “Goa Day celebration”s in Cranford London on 28th July 2013 had an overwelhming response from a crowd of over 12000 people. The band was featured on SONY TV in London and also in Pan Asian countries.
Forefront opened up for an international act “THE BELLAMY BROTHERS CONCERT” in Goa.
