Stars join campaign against BBC cuts at the Asian Music Awards

March 12th, 2010 by

On Thursday evening Hannah, one of our members of staff, attended the Asian Music Awards. She was there to chat to the stars of Asian music and film and distribute orange bands showing support for the Asian Network and BBC 6Music campaign.

A range of stars, including Jay Sean, the first British Asian musician to reach number 1 in the US charts, and film director Gurinder Chadha, were keen to wear an orange band and speak in support of our campaign.

Support the Asian Network and BBC 6Music and join the stars in signing our petition here http://38degrees.org.uk/stop-the-BBC-cuts

    Stop the CUTS regarding Asian Music because they have evey right to listen to their own music and I am an Englisman born and bred in the City of music Liverpool. How on earth can we live together
    when you are Discriminating against certain members of society. If you need to make cuts then start at the top and work down wards. Raymond Ashley

    Look, I love the BBC as much as the next person but I do not endorse this campaign. Our budget deficit is over 12% and needs to be reduced to 3% to stay within EU guidelines by 2015. No one wants the BBC to slash its budget (save perhaps for those who are in competing industries but cannot offer free services) but that's irrelevant right now. UK public spending has to downsize everywhere. We can't just take the good bits and get rid of the bad bits – that's not realistic. Stop campaigning on issues you don't understand the economic implications of! It's great that the BBC is taking some responsibility and doing the hard thing. Stop moaning.
