M-RES, Blackburn
Blackburn's Mela was a'ight, but Hyndburn's Mela kicked it's ass for vibes n sounds. True Mela in every sense of da word, nuff bredren hangin together (asian, black, white) - representing everyone. Music from punk ska kids Ded Mole Crickit, techno boys Semihere, rap freestylin n fusion from PDQ and Dhamak, indie guitars and a lot of yellow from Funnel, Carribean sound from Soca Survivors, Silinder Pardesi getting the crowd movin - funny to see all those white guys bhangra dancin! Trenchtown Experience gave us some chilled Bob Marley tunes and the Zeus wrapped it all up. The weather was nearly as hot as the music and the whole place was buzzin. Trust one of the smaller Melas to show us the way forward. Kickin!

I went to the Eid Mela in Bham. I have to say it was one mad mela, lots of people, young and old, got to say "asian network" kills it. It gave me a great experience for what i want my career to be - a Radio Presenter. Asian Network radio station, got to say thank you for the mela, i loved it.
Nafees, Sheffield

I was at the East London mela and I had no idea that there are so many Asians in East London where I live - I better start making new friends..... I have to say that the singer Ajay was fantastic - best live performance. I'm looking forward to buying his album.
Nick P, Brighton & Hove
I absolutely loved it. I travelled up on the train from Brighton to be there, and it was the first time I had ever been to a Mela. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. Thanks so much for making it possible :)

Kiren, Slough
Slough mela was wicked this year, Kami k was good, Metz and Trix were too hot and left the crowd chanting for 1 more. Apache Indian was a more than worthy replacement to Raghav- chak de and dil lutiya were wicked- and Jazzy B rocked the party to end on a high. Even though Raghav wasn't there me and the girls couldn't get enough.
Rups, Slough, 14
I think slough mela was wicked but to be honest the only good acts which got the crowd goin were Metz and Trix, Apache Indian and the best of course JAZZY B he jus made you wanna dance!
Sejal Luffbro
Slough mela was wkd! I am glad Raghav wasnt there Apache Indian was much beta Jazzy b was sik da best!!! Metz n Trix, Miss Scandalous n Panjabi Hit Squad were sik ass well!!! tc people!! Oh ye Bobby was lukin fine!!!

Gunnesbury Park came alive on the 14th August, a lot of traffic around that area at 12pm, and it was a Sunday, which was unusual, but there was a reason behind all this, it was the London Mela. Arrived around 1.30ish, and bwoy was it already game on, being a 17year old, my attention was straight with the London Flavas stage, where Catch 22 and Deadly Hunter were rocking the stage. Pretty much I hung around the London Flavas all day, coz it was the best stage for young people. Even though it poured down cats and dogs a couple of times, the crowd's atmosphere did not change. Ac and Des-c had the crowd boping to their beats, but bwoy the crowd went propa mad during the acts that followed..Swami..Taala..Punjabi hit Squad..Juggy D..Raghav..and during Nihal lil Dj session. And it was even better for me and my fellow mate because we got front row viewing. One Love. G
Sadia, Slough
Yeah it was jokez bein der. De performances were all live bt as for the Rishi Rich Project n Jay Sean nt cummin it wasnt de same. Hope nxt mela i go dey r. Jazzy B rocked de show e always knows how to.

Anita, London
I went to the Slough Mela and it was soo good!!! Especially Jazzy B of course but I was so annoyed that Raghav didn't come but still it was AMAZING.I thought it was such an experience especially because we got right to the front of the crowd and i had never experienced anything like it. I liked the newcommers and am definetly going to keep an eye out for their music. MC ria was AMAZING as well. I cant wait for the next one! Also got hugged by one of the guys from the Hypnotize crew which was amazing and shook hands with Trix..my friend picked up 2 CDS AND a cap which was all good!..
Slim
Slough mela was ok, would have been wickedddd if my baby Mehsopuria was there.......he makes bhangra rock!!!! mwahzzzz!! xx
Maz - SLOUGH
Not bad not bad. cd hav bin betta wz a bit disappointed but it wz gud i guess. Ray C did his best as did Bobby Friction but Rishi Rich Project shud hav been there n Raghav. Jazzy B waz wicked!!

Neena Panesar, Birmingham

Overall it was a gud mela. Big up da oraganisers.
Sanam, Bradford
The mela was the best on Sunday. The Spice Entertainment Crew ROCKED!!! Big up to all Bradford Massive. But the mela 04 was the best it couldnt beat that as i met Shezad Roy!!!!!! I felt sorry for Jibreel it was his first time and it began to rain. He should get another opportunity nexy year.
Riz
The artists at Huddersfield mela, Ms scandalous, pdm, sk1... not really worth goin even tho scandalous is aight but if Adil Ray goes down that would be good!
Derby di kuri
Well there aren't ever any melas here in Derby. There was a likkle concert last year when juggy and jay came and thats it. The Derby boys messed it up by throwin' bottles and now we have to go outta town to enjoy it - no wonder people dont wanna come to derby!
Lisha, Birmigham
Da mela waz fantastic! Raghav waz jus da best, hpoe to c him again. Apart from da fights everthin' else was smashin n rock solid. Cant wait for next yers mela.
Kashif, Bradford
The best part of the mela was the dashing rain. Najam shiraz, Faakhir and Juggy D provided cool entertainment but the best part was the audience who kept on dancing in the mud...really cool.
Shez (The Great)
I think the Birmingham mela was good. Though I came late but it was lively. We need shows like this to show our Asian culture and promote the big stream stars with no bottle throwing crowds.......Overall a good day for Brum :)
Alina - Birmingham
Da Eid mela in Birminghan woz wikid. Raghav woz gorgeous an i luvd Jazzy b, Sabrina woz rockin!

Ali, Brad(istan)ford
Bigup Metz and Trix- they totally rocked Bradford Mela- in thunder and lightning- it was totally awesome and they even took time to sign a poster 4 my little sister. Never used to like them guys but they won me over in my home town. RESPECT!

Smita
Mela was a little bit of a disapointment :( Juggy n Veronica were nowhere near their best, and the crowd gave them grief. Metz n Trix were very poor as well, RDB were quite good, live dholi (nee2) and singer (binder) killed it! hope its better next year!
Kiran. Peterborough
The mela is just so good but the only thing is that men have fights, which spoils the whole evening. But apart from that its fab!!
Monz, Peterborough
Mela in pborough 04 was wicked...RDB came as well as Juggy D, Veronica, Khiza, Taz n Raghav n others....hope this year will b better!
