Akash

Akash was a Bhangra band founded in the 80's from Bedford, originally consisting of Avatar Singh and K.L. Chand, with a backing group. The band released several albums between the 80's and 90's on the Oriental Star label, who were based in Birmingham.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have discovered the group in February 1990 via the compilation album, 'Bhangra Top 10 - Non-Stop Remix Vol. 1', which he's played tracks from. He would also play a tune from them in December 1990 via their white label album, 'Chat Line!'. The group were largely forgotten by Peel after 1990 until 1993, when he played some of their songs from their 'Sky's The Limit' album on his radio programmes.
