Gurmit Singh Virdee (1937 - 2005) Since the early 1950s, Bhai Gurmit Singh Virdee has been playing, promoting and teaching tabla. Respected throughout the Indian classical music circle, he has performed with world-class artists and taught hundreds of students, some of whom playing on their world stage. Alongside, Gurmit Ji’s love and passion for Indian Classical Music, he has been deeply involved with the Sikh faith since a young age. Indeed since the mid-seventies, the vast majority of Gurmit Ji’s public performances have been at Shabad Kirtan – where the spiritual message of the Sikh Gurus is expressed through singing hymns to music based on Indian classical melodies of raag and the rhythm of tabla. Outside of music, Gurmit Ji is an accomplished photographer and painter with some of his work being displayed in public in Leicester. Over the years Ustad Ji, as he is known to his students, has developed a unique style of teaching tabla. He is a natural teacher with a warm and open style. His methodology is systematic, clear and developed for English-speaking students. For 18 years, he taught at the Leicestershire school of Music, that took Indian classical music to hundreds of students at schools in the area. It has been the most successful school of its kind in the UK. Bhai Gurmit Ji has also been a major player in promoting tabla in the UK with the creation of Taal – Rhythms of India in 1987. It elevated the status of tabla solos and brought world-class tabla maestros, like Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pandit Swapan Chowdhury and Pandit Anindho Chatterjee to the UK stage. Bhai Gurmit Ji was born in India in 1937 in Punjab, India. His family moved to Kenya when he was nine. His training in tabla began in Kenya and continued in India where he graduated. In the sixties, he gave several tabla performances and taught tabla to numerous students alongside his employment as a Biology teacher in Kenya.
