Trincas located in Park Street will be celebrating 60 years of its run in Kolkata and simultaneously celebrating 50th anniversary of Usha Uthup’s first performance at this iconic food joint.

A press meet was organized to announce this feat in the presence of Usha Uthup and Anand Puri (3rd generation of Trincas).

Speaking at the press meet, Usha Uthup said “I am glad that I was given the chance to sing at this pub. In those days, you had to get a written permit to sing in the pubs. This is one piece of information that not many of you will know about”.

At that point, no singer could sit with their customers or solicit with them. However the singer met her husband there. After she got married, she could come and sit with him and no one could object to that. Incidentally she met her husband at Trincas itself.

The legendary singer also shared how she had sang in front of many esteemed personalities like Jyoti Basu, Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore and so on. “Even before I got a chance to do playback singing, I was singing at Trincas and doing live shows. There was also a time when many people thought that asking me to sing in their films will make the film a flop one. There were also others who thought that my song will make the film a hit one. So you see both viewpoints existed” added the singer.

Usha Uthup’s live performance at Trincas will be held on 27th and 28th September 2019 at 8.30 pm onwards to mark Trincas’s completion of 60 years and 50th anniversary of Usha Uthup’s first performance at the place.
