The evening was a great success with everyone feeling the buzz of the night and happy to contribute to the event and its cause.

The audience had close-up views of the stars loving every act. They cheered, danced and joined in with the music of the night.

Every artist performing, lit up the stage with songs identifying their slice of the Bhangra and Brit-Asian music industry.

DESIblitz.com attended the Night of Stars event and spoke to some of the stars, who were all great to talk to on this busy night of music and performances. We also got the chance to ask some questions of them that not everyone usually does!

You can watch and hear what they said in the exclusive DESIblitz videos below.

We congratulate Jassi Sidhu for his efforts to organise and run the event on the night and without doubt, the stars who made it and everyone who attended the night to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

We hope more events like these will be organised to show the support and solidarity of Bhangra and South Asian music artists and media for good causes.
