Nepalese Choir Reappears In England
By KTM Metro Reporter
May 5, 2011: in the last issue of ‘Kathmandu Metro’ we reported that the Nepalese choir supposed to perform at a Cornish music festival did not show up. The minibus that had gone to the Heathrow Airport had come back empty leaving the organizers of the festival to dismay.
Now, Independent.co.uk has reported on April 30, 2011 that the Nepalese choir has showed up after three days. However, the organizers have no idea what has happened to them. Probably, they have missed the bus due to the language problem.
After three days and three missed concerts, the choir known as Nepalaya Kala Manch is on its way. Festival organizer David Peters said, “We have had no explanation – how could they just disappear? We had our man in Heathrow looking everywhere, and the immigration authorities were interested. Today they decided to come out of the cupboard."
Yesterday, friends of the choir in Nepal reportedly said that they had "missed their bus" and were set to arrive in Cornwall. Ishor Rijal, a journalist working for the Nepali Samaj, a Nepali-community-news website, said: "The information that I have from the organization is that they missed the bus and managed to reach the venue the next day, or something like that. It might have been to do with the language problem. It is a bit of a mystery."
