It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of our beloved Chairman, Nadeem Butt.
Nadeem has been a central driving force in the establishment of Melafestivalen where he worked for many years as arena manager and food manager. He then joined the festival's board, and helped further in the role of board member and later chairman. In recent years he has also been chairman of the board of Melahuset .
Nadeem has always been a good friend and supporter. He was a warm, kind-hearted and patient man, and was always welcoming, listening and helpful. We will miss his kind and wise nature.
Thank you for everything you have done for us at Mela.
