Birmingham Hippodrome have historically played host to many of the UK’s most diverse talent.

In February 2020, BritAsia TV proudly presented a nostalgic evening ‘Live in Effect’ with the living legend of Panjabi folk Surinder Shinda.

Performing alongside the Tru-Skool live band, Surinder Shinda showcased his greatest hits including Puth Jattan De, Jeona Maurh, Sassi and the UK smash-hit Mirza
part 2 – as heard in their original form alongside a collection of his biggest UK produced records.

Tony Shergill, CEO of BritAsia TV said of the event at the time: “We are proud to be working with the iconic Birmingham Hippodrome for this event. Following the success of our previous award shows in London, it was important to bring a BritAsia TV event back to Birmingham.”

“It is great to be able to celebrate a living legend of Panjabi folk music, at an equally iconic venue. Many artists have grown up listening to Surinder Shinda, and so it is very exciting to commemorate all that he has done for the Panjabi music industry.”
