Eloquent and informative, Hajera Sheikh’s documentary Kathak: Dancing With Taboos tells a story of love for one’s culture and perseverance through adversity.

On October 26th, 2008, H.E.A.T. fans witnessed a rare and unexpected show at Firefest, Nottingham. The band had been brought in as a last-minute replacement for Pretty Maids, who were grounded by flight cancellations. Just two days before the concert, frontman Kenny Leckremo required heart surgery, leaving H.E.A.T. without a singer. Stepping up was Eclipse’s Erik Martensson, who handled several H.E.A.T. songs and a cover of Europe’s “Cherokee,” before Pekka Heino of Leverage and Brother Firetribe joined for Whitesnake’s “Fool For Your Loving” and Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Erik then returned for a duet on Journey’s “Separate Ways,” closing the night with H.E.A.T.’s “Never Let Go.” Setlist: "There for You", "Late Night Lady", "Straight for Your Heart", "Cherokee" (Europe cover), "Fool For Your Loving" (Whitesnake cover), "Livin' on a Prayer" (Bon Jovi cover), "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" (Journey cover), "Never Let Go"

Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful. Whatever we put our efforts into, ideally it is to make it culminate in the best possible results across the board, especially when it comes to what career path we are pursuing. We WANT to excel, to shine, to advance, to be acknowledged. AND…let’s hope that we also wish to better everyone around us to boot. However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
