About Us

Azaad Dhol Group was created following the earlier success of the Punjabi pop band 'Azaad'. After the group split in the early 90's we decided to share our musical talent through teaching. We, therefore, carried the band's name, meaning 'freedom', by forming the Azaad Dhol Group.

Today the Azaad Dhol Group are a proffessional outfit who combine education and performance in order to keep traditional Punjabi Folk Music alive and kicking! The group have performed at events throughout the UK and include prestigious venue's such as The Royal Albert Hall & NEC.
