Soulful Sufi at Beck Theatre

On Saturday, 31 May, the Beck Theatre in Hayes, Middlesex, will host a spectacular celebration of Sufi culture and music with Qawwali Live: A Soulful Sufi Experience. This event invites audiences to immerse themselves in one of the most captivating and spiritually uplifting musical traditions in the world. Qawwali, known for its evocative poetry and dynamic rhythms, offers not just entertainment but a deep, meditative journey into the heart of Sufism—a mystical branch of Islam that focuses on love, devotion, and the divine connection.

Qawwali has long been celebrated for its ability to unite listeners through its intense emotional and spiritual appeal. Originating in the Indian subcontinent, this form of music brings together intricate vocal techniques, traditional instruments like the harmonium and tabla, and poetic verses often written by revered Sufi saints such as Rumi and Amir Khusro. These elements combine to create an atmosphere that is both hypnotic and uplifting, encouraging listeners to reflect on themes of love, unity, and divine presence.

UK growers are reporting a bumper crop of unusually large strawberries this spring, thanks to a spell of bright sunshine and cool nights that has created near-perfect growing conditions. However, as the dry weather continues, experts are warning that water shortages could pose a risk to future harvests.

According to Bartosz Pinkosz, operations director at the Summer Berry Company, strawberry plants have benefited significantly from this year’s weather pattern. “We had the darkest January and February since the 1970s, but then the brightest March and April since 1910,” he said. “From March onwards, it was really kind of perfect for tunnel strawberries.”
