Ullah tells his life story for some 90 minutes, accompanied by the vibrant percussionist Avirodh Sharma, who drums at the rear of the stage.

He could play more of the characters he evokes and, in particular, he could chart more of his professional rise and struggle in the present tense, taking us with him to some of his most important performances of his career.
