Wow wee its NIPAA (Nutkhut’s InterPlanetary Autumn Activity) time!
A decade ago, Nutkhut pioneered a different way of working.
Nutkhut’s InterPlanetary Autumn Activity
A decade ago, Nutkhut brought audiences to the attention of Holsts ‘Savitiri’ – a new commission with the Philharmonia Orchestra , a London premiere – a creative collaboration for the London Olympics as a finale of the London Mela. It set off the heels of motion for a whole new generation of artists of South Asian origin to bring together two different yet complementary worlds.
Written in Edwardian England by a man who never set foot in India, Socialist, teetotal, vegetarian trombonist from Gloucestershire became proficient in Sanskrit and absorbed himself in ancient Vedic philosophy.
“The Planets is a stunning piece of music. The inspiration it holds for modern cinema is undeniable. It deserves its place in history as one of the most seminal & iconic pieces ever written.” CultureSlate

In a heartfelt tribute to the armed forces, Nutkhut associate Paul Gurung delivered a compelling performance in Aldershot, celebrating Armed Forces Day 2024.
Patricia – Aldershot resident
“We have been coming for years and this was different, unique and a reminder that so many nations and nationalities have contributed to our freedoms – we too often forget that”
As the son of a Gurkha veteran, Gurung’s art vividly brings to life the rich legacy of the Gurkhas, whose courage and loyalty to the British Crown remain unparalleled.
His portrayal not only honour’s his father’s service but also enshrines the invaluable contributions of the Gurkhas in the nation’s collective consciousness. Armed Forces Day is a pivotal occasion for honouring our servicemen and women. Through the powerful medium of art, stories of sacrifice and bravery are vividly immortalised.
Gurung’s performance transcends mere historical recount, offering a profound, personal connection to the past.
As acclaimed historian David McCullough aptly said,
“History is who we are and why we are the way we are.”
Gurung’s work echoes this sentiment, preserving the Gurkhas’ heritage and their enduring impact on our history.
