With voting now open for Brummie of the Year, we’re going to take a look at all the candidates. This time king of dhols Gurcharan Mall. The Destroyers vs The Dhol Blasters, originally uploaded by jjbullock.

Nominated by Julia Gilbert:

“organiser of the World 501 Dholis world recording breaking dhol playing event, and the man behind Birmingham’s wonderful Dhol Blasters. He is a brilliant dhol teacher, who made me feel very welcome at the event and subsequent dhol classes. He is an very likeable man who recognises that music can transcend cultural differences.”
