English music fans tired of nonstop indipop fluff on the telly have an invogorating alternative to look forward to this Christmas season. According to the information available with indiantelevision.com, Zee English, which mostly focusses on serials, has announced a spate of music concerts and events catering to a diverse array of western music.

The action kicks off on 14 December at 8 pm when the channel will telecast Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams. The programme Bryan Adams - Live at Sloan castle will show the rocker mesmerise his audience with classics like Everything I Do I do it for You and Cuts Like a Knife. The visual appeal during the show includes the morphing from 'colour' to 'black and white'.

The concert telecast is slated to include exciting excerpts wherein Bryan pulls out a screaming female fan from the audience to join in while belting out his hit When You're Gone.

On 21 December, the viewers of Zee English can savour the joy of viewing Australian rock band INXS. The show would enable the viewers to relive fond memories of Michael Hutchence and his gang. The show called Live baby Live concert actually took place at the Wembley Stadium in London in front of a 70,000-strong audience. The concert was filmed in 1991and includes tracks such as Suicide Blonde, Kick, Disappear, Mystify.

On Christmas day, the channel will showcase Elton John's One Night Only concert. This concert showcases John's greatest hits collection recorded in NY at the Madison Square Garden last year. The show also featured guest performances by the likes of Billy Joel, Bryan Adams and others. The video telecast would attempt to capture the artist's intensity as a performer and his musical retrospective. A highlight of the show would be the inclusion of two rarely played songs, ‘Club at the End of the Street’ and Little Jeannie.

Country music is non existent on the telly. Zee English plans to change this perception by showcasing the 36th Annual Country Music Awards on 29 December at 8 pm. Zee English claimed that the CMA Awards are recognised worldwide as "Country Music's Biggest Night," They represent the pinnacle of achievement for country music artists, musicians, producers, publishers, songwriters, video directors and industry executives who work in America's most popular music genre. Country music favourite Vance Gill hosted the show, his 11th year as the show host. His 11th appearance marked the longest-running relationship of its kind for a major awards show, as per the information provided by the channel.
