Maybe there's a tune that reminds you of growing up, a song that gets you dancing or one that always makes you smile.  Come along for a relaxed, friendly chat about the music we love. Share your favourite songs, swap recommendations and discover what music means to others in our South Asian GBTQ+ community. You might even rediscover an old favourite!  * What songs bring back special memories for you?  ^ * Is there a song that always lifts your mood or gets you dancing?  ^ * Has music helped you feel connected to your culture, identity or community?  There's no need to be a music expert, just bring along your love of music and join the conversation! This session is always a fun way to learn a little more about each other and make connections.  ****About South Asian HangOuts**** A twice monthly friendly and welcoming online social and peer support group for gay, bi and trans men with South Asian heritage.
