Venues and regions it is promoting include Royal Festival Hall, RichMix in London, Chatham, Sevenoaks, Folkestone, Whitstable, Faversham and Ashford in Kent.

Shiva Nova is led by Priti Paintal, a woman composer, performer, music producer and promoter. Her music brings together traditional, classical and jazz performers in a unique mix of Indian roots and contemporary flair. ShivaNova has worked with girls and young woman from a range of communities and in 2006 set up the Girls Only Global Orchestra (GoGo) when the idea of the Equator -Women of the World Festival (WOW) was also born.
