An artist to note is David Preston he can be found gigging around North GOA and should not be missed.
A Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter from Essex, U.K. now living in Goa,India.
David's been playing since he was 13, when he discovered "The Beatles Complete Songbook"and with those picture chords and his love of everything Beatle-ish he started to write songs of his own.Then as his guitar playing developed he discovered a passion for the blues and the music of Jimi Hendrix,Led Zeppelin,Eric Clapton,B.B. King,Buddy Guy and lots of sixties music and composers like Burt Bacharach,Carole King & Bob Dylan

Too late, my dinner's gone Sends shivers down my spine Bottom aching all the time Goodbye onion bhaji, I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and use the loo. Naan, ooh, ooh This dopiaza is so mild I sometimes wish we'd never come here at all.

Heritage Jazz had an unplanned birth at the large Gonsalves Mansion in Campal, on the heritage area to the west of Panjim. It started off as a number of fun shows which turned into jazz events. Gonsalves Mansion then became the birth place of Jazz in Goa and jazz concerts have become synonymous with this majestic house, smilingly holding to its heart music and song of decades gone by. By the looks of it trees also love music and the huge rain trees in this still green area of Panjim, shiver with delight when velvet notes of violins, drums and keyboards waft upwards and across in the soft night air.
Musicians from all over the world have performed with us and this has helped bring jazz alive with our unique heritage jazz concerts. Our job is to pamper the performers so that they return to Goa again and again. We handle it all – accommodation, food, publicity, even a small fee. All we need is you and your awesome talent. Jazz musicians and jazz lovers have come together to make heritage jazz a living breathing entity in Goa today.
Performers from across the world have come to gift their talent to Goa. Some of those jazz greats include Tala Faral from Madagascar and USA, George Brooks, Leni Stern, Sunny Jain and Gary Wong, Jayson Jones of Chicago, Mathias IA Eklundh, Niclas Campagnol, Toronto based Shuffle Demons, Mandu Sarara, a five-member band from Brazil led by Beto Sporleder, and our very own bands including Megha, Blue Fire and musicians like Belinda Oliveira, Don Saigal and his daughter Sonia, Babush Santana, a veritable virtuoso who is completely blind, George Fernandez, Lester Godinho, Carlos Monteiro, Mac Douradoand Benny Rosario The music keeps playing and we look forward to welcoming more musicians from all over the world to perform here. So what are you waiting for pick up a phone or drop us a line. We can help in writing to respective embassies and culture organizations and inviting you to participate in the festivals that we organize.
Our reach is pretty wide; we can even help you with contacts in other important cities in India such as Bangalore, Bombay, Calcutta and Delhi so that you can have gigs in those cities as well.
What you need to do is send us your photographs, press kit and DVD/CD to the following address and let’s take this forward:
