A fascinating chat with the amazing Gurvir Johal - Multi Award Winning photographer and yet free with information which was excellent. Another really good peek 'behind the curtains' as I like to do.

Say hello to Tejinder Singh, our esteemed guest in this enthralling episode, as we traverse the path of his life since immigrating to the UK in 1985, and his journey through the media industry. Tejinder opens up about his early days of working arduous jobs like offloading lorries and punching data into systems, before switching lanes to programming. Brace for a hard-hitting discussion as he shares his experience of racial abuse, shedding light on the tribulations faced by immigrants and the persistent struggles they overcome.
Immerse yourself in a nostalgic journey as Tejinder elucidates on the evolution of wedding photography and videography. Remember the 90s when weddings were smaller and community music was the norm? Tejinder's personal wedding story paints a vivid picture of the era, complete with his uncle on video duty and a friend doing the photography. Watch as the scene morphs through the years, transforming Gurdwaras and wedding halls, ushering in larger venues and shifting music preferences from community singing to contemporary tunes.
Join this candid conversation as Tejinder takes us back to his early career in media, all the way from Nairobi, Kenya, to the UK. It's a story of passion, with photography at its heart, fostered by the unwavering support of his family. Tejinder's first encounter with the camera was at the Kenya Safari rallies, a memory etched in his mind. But hold on, there's more! Get a glimpse of the flamboyant bhangra music gig scene of the 80s and 90s, as Tejinder gives us a detailed account. He wraps up the conversation with an interesting perspective on the revival of bhangra music at weddings and other events. You wouldn't want to miss this captivating journey with Tejinder Singh!

A brilliant catch up with a true industry legend - Mr. Jas Johal, Kudos Music DJ, Director of Kudos alongside DJ H, and one of the nicest guys in the business.
Fascinating discussion about how Kudos started, how the Covid pandemic allowed the company to re-evaluate and restructure , making it stronger as a result.
Some interesting chat too about standards in our industry - anyone that knows me also knows I don't shy away from calling out shoddy work, but Jas has some ideas about he we could move forward together.
Well worth a listen in my opinion! Please Enjoy.
