Nadia Jamil Instagram – When I walked into Bradlaugh Hall, I immediately go goosebumps. This magical treasure nestled in old Lahore, has the most magnificent acoustics! Listening to @kamranlashari75 share the history of the Hall, hearing of the passionate speeches held here by Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Gandhi & others, made me imagine the fervour of pre Independence, the desire to be independent of colonial rule.
When invited to share a kalaam, I chose the same one I sing everywhere…. the powerful Saif Ul Malook… BUT as I knew it would be, it was different live in this space. The acoustics magnified and echoed my voice throughout. The emotions in the audience were electric and moved me to the core, feeding my own energy. I’m convinced that the power of that moment also came from this incredible space!
The renovation process is still underway, but even the original facade, standing strong with the incredible support and work of @walledcityoflahoree , is utterly remarkable! Thank God it was found and is getting the tender love and care it deserves.
This space was made for audiences to enjoy speeches, talks, mushairas, performances of drama, dance and music!
