How
did you get into Presenting?
I Performed on stage as a solo singer
and performer. I also had my own musical group then, as I can play
a few instruments like the Accordion, Guitar, Synthesizer, etc. I
was later approached to Produce and Broadcast a weekly Programme For
Hospital radio. This happened about 30 years ago. Then in May 1996
Radio XL came on the scene and I was approached to do one slot for
the listeners, as I have a good knowledge of old Music and A Great
Collection of old Music. I started Bhooli Bisri Yaadein as an experiment
for four weeks, and thought if people didn't like it, the format could
be changed. After only two weeks of the show going on air, I had such
a great response from my Listeners, that I was left astounded and
flabbergasted. Since then my Show is the only Show, which plays only
Old Music, and I am flattered that I have a very large audience. |

| What
do you treasure most in life? My
Music and my family! |
|

Anything
else interesting about yourself?
I love sports and I used to play
Football. Hockey and Basket Ball. I am also a good Snooker Player.

What's
been the highlight of your career so far?
I formed the first Bhangra Band in
U K in 1968. |
|

Best

From
past, present and future who do you want to meet?
I have met lot of Bollywood stars
and singers. I was and still am an ardent fan of The Late Elvis Presley.
He was the only person on this planet I wanted to meet. |
|
|
| Motto
of live: I am happy and content with
my life. God has given me every thing a person needs. A Happy family.
A nice wife, three wonderful children. Two daughters and a son, who
by gods grace is also a famous music producer called Bally Sagoo. |
