The
Googoosh "Now Ruz" concert was an evening of
nostalgia for Iranians and other nationalities who like
myself had enjoyed her music in Iran during the sixties and
seventies. It was made all the more poignant
by the 20 year gap in her singing career.
As the treasure trove of old and new songs unfolded during the
course of the evening emotions ran high ranging from joy
to sadness. Googoosh proved again what a superb
performer she is after such a long absence, touching the
hearts of the spectators who could not help but shed a few
emotional tears. A brilliant performance by Googoosh and
her international backing group - I hope that this is not
the last we will see of her in Britain and that she will
return again and again.
