Lata & Asha: Purane Gaane... Side A | Side B Leeds — Step inside the gloriously ornate City Varieties Music Hall at 6:00pm for an evening devoted to the two voices that defined an era of Hindi cinema — the legendary Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Purane Gaane, meaning 'old songs', is a love letter to those timeless melodies that have soundtracked weddings, road trips, and lazy Sunday afternoons for generations across the world. At £25 a ticket, it is an utterly transportive night out — expect a warm, joyful crowd and the kind of music that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
