Would you know of two British Sikh brothers from Scotland, making Asian- fusion music, without them having had the support of the BBC Asia Network?

Tigerstyle are one of the few British-Asian acts to have ever recorded a live session for the legendary late Sir John Peel. They were given the opportunity to showcase material from our forthcoming album supported by a full band at the first ever BBC Electric Proms in September 2006, and were selected out of 1000s of bands to perform on the first ever BBC Introducing Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in July 2007. Tigerstyle were also given a chance to perform with a full band which was recorded for BBC Asian Network and filmed for BBC Two's Desi DNA. They have recently returned from performing at a number of official events in Vancouver, Whistler and the surrounding area in connection with the Winter Olympics 2010…………..also highlighted by the Asian Network.

Tigerstyle have also taken part in numerous debate shows and documentary programmes produced by the BBC Asian Network, have performed at various
venues as part of the Asian Network Uni Tours over the years, and feel it is the only platform for British born Asian musicians to showcase their talent.

Asian Network has given is near to 10 years of support. We feel it is imperative that the Asian music industry and the wider Asian community stand together and make their voices heard in order to keep this radio station alive. Without the Asian Network there will be no outlet for British-born Asian musical talent, the industry as a whole will suffer greatly, and future generations of British born Asians will be without a relative and vital link to their culture.The Asian Network is the only service to cater properly for the British born Asian community …….Pops, Tigerstyle.
