  Sunday Times - PLUS - 21st December 1997

• Reaching 70 years on December 5, maestro Amaradeva spent a quiet day at his new residence in Nawinna chatting to friends who turned up to say 'many happy returns'. He has been rather quiet in the last few months. In February when he took part in a three hour chat show over ITN (Shanta Me Re Yame), it was a rare and rewarding musical treat. He was in his element that night feeling homely and relaxed. Even at the end of the three hours he could go on for more.
  
  Amaradeva is still 'fresh'. We want more from him and he is capable of delivering. So over to you, Amare!
