A non-profit organisation is aiming to bring London-style events to Basingstoke.
Talli Tigers, run by Uday Padia and two friends, has already organised three successful events in the town.
The group believes people should not have to travel to London for good events and wants to bring artists to Basingstoke.
Their inaugural event, celebrating India's Independence Day, drew more than 180 people to Harry's Bar.

The Diwali event was attended by people from various countries, including Greece, England, Scotland, Spain, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mauritius and India.
Uday said: "We continue to strive ourselves to be an iconic group which brings people together, spreading the positive message of being united and integrated within the small community in and around Basingstoke."
The group is now planning another night party, called Bolly Rave, featuring music from around the world.
Uday said: "Our aim and goal is – 'Let’s unite people, let’s bring people together and have a great time in Basingstoke'.
"Our effort is to make Basingstoke a town where people would have an opportunity to celebrate and enjoy all kinds of events, so that they don’t need to go to London, Reading or Southampton."
