Colombo Hindu College PPA (UK) 
Proudly presents

Alai Payuthey 2005


The SL2UK Team were proud to be associated with the first ever Light Music Concert performed by Unni Krishan in London.

As part of a two-leg tour, with Birmingham to be performed the next night, Unni Krishnan held the London audience in rapture and awe as he performed a medley of his finest hits.

It was not hard to see why the 2000 capacity seating of the Fairfield Hall in Croydon was sold out. As the world at large will no doubt hear through the filter of the World's media via TTN and various newspapers and magazines that were in attendance on the night, this was one the most fantastic and spectacular concerts to be performed in the UK to date by a Tamil artist.

Credit must be given to the concert organisers Colombo Hindu College PPA & TAMIL AID who did a fantastic job in putting together such a an awe-inspiring show. Almost a year of planning went into the task of putting this collosal show together and Colombo Hindu College showed they were more than up to the task.
