Live Shows - Kamal’s Video Palace Show History . . . It was 1994, when KVP was approached by well-known International promoter ' Rocky ' Rakesh Kaushal for JAGJIT SINGH's concert in Vancouver and without any hesitation, a date was set in April 1994, but to everyone's surprise, KVP's first-ever concert at the Vogue Theatre,Vancouver was sold out a month in advance and thus started KVP's foray in show-business. 1997 brought artistes from India and Pakistan at Vancouver's prestigious Queen Elizabeth Theatre and along with then British Columbia's Attorney General, Ujjal Dosanjh.thousands of audiences were treated to a delightful musical programme by Pakistan's RESHMA and India's Dharmendra,Mamta Kulkarni and emerging Sonu Nigam with his equally talented father Agam Kumar.
