French-Caribbean artist David Walters to perform in city
An exclusive concert by French musician David Walters, 'Trio' is scheduled to be held in Chandigarh as part of his Soul Tropical tour. He would be performing at Tagore Theatre on June 19 and has no entry charges. French-Caribbean musician David will bring this musical journey to city, blending Afro-Caribbean roots, soul, funk, and global grooves. This celebration of music, culture, and connection arrives as part of the international Fête de la Musique festival, observed every June across the world. Presented by the French Institute in India and the Alliance Française network in India, this tour has electrifying performances in other cities as well, including New Delhi, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Jaipur. Walters, known for his genre-defying sonic palette and powerful stage presence, brings a deep emotional resonance to his performances. His latest album, Soul Tropical, is both a personal homage to his Caribbean heritage and a universal ode to joy and resilience. It features acclaimed collaborations with artists like Mario Canonge, BallakéSissoko, Flavia Coelho, and Captain Planet, weaving together sounds from Martinique, Guadeloupe, Cuba, Brazil, and Africa — all filtered through the vibrant energy of Marseille, Paris, Sheffield, and Los Angeles. 'This isn't just music to listen to — it's music to feel, to move to, to heal with,' says Walters. 'Soul Tropical is about dancing through grief, reconnecting with family, and finding joy in shared rhythms.'

Orange Order could DOUBLE in size in three years as chief defends parades on Rangers fans YouTube channel
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN Orange Order chief thinks they can DOUBLE in size in three years - and claims most parades pass off 'unnoticed.' Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland executive officer, David Walters, said they were the 'greatest institution in the world' and denied they were an 'anti-Catholic, right-wing organisation.'

His comments come as marching season across Scotland ramps up towards the climax on the Twelfth of July. With 45,000 Orangemen expected to parade this year, Mr Walters wants that figure to approach 100,000 by 2028. When asked about his hopes for the next 'two to three years', he replied: 'I'd love to see our membership double, there's no reason why it can't. 'I mean there are many people that want to link with the Orange institution, join the Orange institution. 'Come and be part of the greatest institution in the world.' Much of the opposition to the Orange Order comes from the noisy parades that critics see as triumphalist and sectarian. But he said: 'We have over a thousand parades every year and 99 percent of them go smoothly and with very little noise at all. The interviewer says 'unnoticed?' and he replies 'Yeah. 'The media would portray us as being an anti-Catholic, right-wing organisation because that was on their agenda. Hundreds step out for women's Orange Walk through Glasgow 'We are a Christian organisation. 'When we parade we have a Bible at the very front. 'It's about educating them, what the Orange institution is all about. 'We try to argue our civil right to parade on the King's Highway.' He flatly denied that any Orangemen had been convicted of any offences during parades and said: 'Individuals that have caused problems are the general public and people need to realise that.' The member of the Perth True Blues Rangers Supporters Club added that the walks were great for local economies - despite some critics saying they scared people away from towns while parades were being held. Speaking about the economic impact during a walk in Perth, he said: 'Yeah, huge. All the hotels were booked up as well. 'That goes unnoticed. 'Any festival like that would bring visitors who spend money. 'Places ran out of food, some ran out of drink. 'I don't actually know the numbers. 'But the Grand Lodge of England did a study that showed there was millions of pounds of revenue coming in.'
