The fourth edition of the Paddy Fields Festival, which kicked off in the city on November 29, culminated on a sour note on Sunday evening after Sukhwinder Singh — who was to deliver the finale act — left his set mid-way due to the apparent mismanagement by the organisers.
Singh says that after being initially informed of a delay in his set, he was made to wait for another three hours, and was offered the stage only at 1.15 am. "I tell my team that my set should start on time. I am willing to perform till the wee hours of the next day, but don't put me on stage post-midnight. I arrived at 8 pm and was told that my set was being locked for 10.30 pm. I told my management that I don't take to the stage post 9 pm but decided to cooperate nonetheless. But, they pushed my performance to 1.30 am. By then, my heart wasn't in it anymore," says Singh. He adds that during one point of the constant negotiations pertaining to the delay, he was assured to be the next in line after an ongoing act. "An artiste called Osman Mir was performing and was doing a fine job."
