Back by popular demand, Babur's Burns Night Himalayan Fling is
an event you won't want to miss. The evening begins with a Gurkha
piper heralding the entrance of the Nepalese bhuton, possibly the
first and original haggis recipe. There will be Slow-roasted Shoulder
of Lamb marinated in Amrut Indian single malt whisky to follow,
finishing off with Warm Barley and Amrut halwa with raspberry coulis.
All in aid of the Gurkha Welfare Trust.
A talent search has yielded some impressive results and heading the
bill of Burns songs and poetry is harpist and soprano, Norma Ritchie,
who has sung and played the Celtic harp on Burns Nights in exotic
locations such as Cochin and Kobe, Japan. Her husband, Peter Fender,
has been playing the violin for even longer than he has been eating
curries and for 25 years has lived within walking distance of Babur
in London SE23. There will be other surprise guests and friends of Babur.
Thanks to Chivas Regal, they have a grand prize for their raffle that
