Your live singer in Shillong

Shillong sits at 1,500 metres around Ward’s Lake and Umiam Lake, and its colonial bungalows, Don Bosco museum and Elephant Falls reflect the British period. The city’s musical life is remarkable: a guitar in many homes, covers of rock and country songs in every café, and the annual Shillong Autumn Festival and Cherry Blossom Festival.

The Khasi, Garo, Bengali, Nepali and Marwari communities share the town, and its weddings and receptions are lively. Churches host choirs, hotels host dinners, and the Police Bazaar area bustles in the evening.

An unplugged set of Hindi film songs, English classics and Sufi works well in Shillong, and the audience sings along. Rain and early closing hours are part of the plan.

The year in Shillong

Christmas, New Year and the autumn festival are the busiest times. Spring is pleasant, and the monsoon is very wet. The Cherry Blossom Festival in November is a colourful event.

What Shillong hosts expect

Shillong is relaxed, musical and polite. A genuine, sing-along performance with a sense of humour is the best fit.

A café set for Shillong

Shillong’s café scene demands a sing-along. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani favourites, Imagine Dragons-style covers and acoustic classics such as Wonderful Tonight and Tum Hi Ho make for a friendly night. A Khasi folk song, sung by a local guest, can be the highlight of the evening.

Venues and planning in Shillong

Shillong’s events use hotels in Police Bazaar and Laitumkhrah, clubs and church halls, and resorts around Umiam Lake outside the city. Concerts take the city’s auditoriums and open grounds.

Shillong is about three hours by road from Guwahati airport. The rain is heavy for much of the year, so events are indoors or covered. English and Hindi songs both suit the audience.
