British-Asian musician Bally Sagoo back in UK for awards show

British-Asian and Bollywood musician Bally Sagoo has announced that he will be arriving in the UK to attend an Asian Music launch event.

The Lebara Mobile UK Asian Music Awards (UK AMA) Voting Launch Party is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, at London venue Merah.

"I am making a very short trip to the UK especially for the UK AMAs launch event this week," Sagoo revealed. "I am looking forward to talking briefly about my new album and other projects which are in the pipeline for next year."

The 'Dil Cheez' star is widely known in the club scene for revamping old Bollywood hits and fusing them with hip-hop.

"Having won the 'Outstanding Achievement Award' at the UK AMAs in 2003, I am pleased to see the event developing every year and building a strong platform for British Asian musicians globally," he added.

Sagoo has worked on a number of Bollywood productions, including a collaborative project with Amitabh Bachchan on a musical interpretation of his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poetry.

Riot police were called to one of the star's gigs in Sydney last year, following a late night brawl.
