Winners of the UK Bhangra Awards 2015

The UK Bhangra Awards 2015 lit up Birmingham’s New Bingley Hall on November 28, 2015.

The awards which celebrates the best of British and Desi Bhangra music was a great success, and almost 2,000 guests flocked to see their favourite bhangra acts perform live on stage.

Kicking of the proceedings were the likes of female bhangra group, Eternal Taal, Bhangra All Stars, A-Thin, Envy and GPD.

Special guest Navin Kundra also took the stage and performed his latest tracks.

The British Asian singer won the award for ‘Best Urban Punjabi Singer’, while ‘Best Male Singer’ went to Nav Sidhu, whose popular tracks include, ‘Hai Sohniye’ and ‘Nachale Sanu Naal’.

Nav later tweeted: “WON “BEST MALE SINGER” AWARD @UKBA2015 THANKS TO ALL MY FANS WHO VOTED N SUPPORTED.”

Other award categories included ‘Best Publication’, which was awarded to Eastern Eye, and ‘Best Website’, which went to Punjab2000.

The ‘Best UK Mela’ award was given to the team behind Luton Mela, which has been running since 2000. Furhaad Ahmed from Luton Mela said:

“This was a really great year for us to win, as we have been going for 15 years and it is great to see what we do be recognised.”

What made the Bhangra awards even more special was that winners were voted for by the public, so fans had a chance to show their devotion and support to their favourite artist, band and presenters.
