We Won! Best Radio Show 2009 UK AMA's.
Last night the Friction show won in the best Radio Show category at the 2009 UK Asian Music Awards. It was an award that I dedicated to the Amazonian Radio warriors who have pulled the show (and me!) together four times a week for the last three years.
Respects must go out to the shows producers Reju, Jenny and Helen - with of course much love and vibes to Meera and Aman - my assistant producers (and the individuals who do all the work). Also I must make a special mention of Zab Khan who over the years has been executive producer of the show and a calming influence.
Anywayz - you know our show sounds unique, and isn't just a run of the mill Desi show, so if there's anything you think we should do 'more' or 'less' of then post your comments here.
The only things I remember from the night are as follows:-
1. H Dhami's amazing silver suit - Got me right jealous I tells thee!
2. Heckling Adil and saying "we want Raa, we want Raa - Get Off!"
3. Heckling the actor who plays Tanveer Massood in Eastenders!
4. Jay Sean collecting 3 awards.
5. MIA winning best Female.
6. Watching an artist NO-ONE has ever heard of playing twice on the night!!!?? Who was she?
7. Winning the award and thanking everyone apart from the BBC Asian Network or Radio 1!!
From what I can remember the awards won were as follows:-
BEST ALBUM
Jay Sean - My Own Way

Congrats Bobby! Is this second time round? Anyway where were the female awards there was some great stuff from Mona Singh, Alyssia and Sona Walia last year, aint fair! As for your show we need more live sessions/acoustics from the more underground artists, desi drum & bass etc....
