Multi award winning Punjabi singing sensation Garry Sandhu’s meteoric rise through the British Asian music scene is something that is remembered fondly even today. Despite being away from Britain for the last 8 years, his fan base has only expanded in the country widely regarded as the home of Bhangra in the west.
However, In late 2011 his fans were shocked to learn tto learn that he had been arrested and detained by the UK Border Agency for violating immigration laws and overstaying in the country after having had permission to remain refused. After a short legal battle, Garry Sandhu was removed back to India in January 2012.
But the good news is that he has now confirmed his return to the UK. From confirmed sources, we’ve got to know that Garry Sandhu’s will be the headline act for E3UK Live 2019, an incredible event celebrating Bhangra music with an even more spectacular star studded line up including Ammy Virk and Mankirt Aulakh.
The event is organised by one of Britain’s leading Asian entertainment companies, E3UK. It will take place at The Arena Birmingham (formally known as The Barclaycard Arena) on Saturday 2nd November 2019.

I deeply regret and am remorseful for my past actions, when it comes to my Immigration history in the UK. Staying within the remit and boundaries of the law is something every upstanding citizen should do.

On asking about his past, Garry Sandhu said, “I am moulded by my past and although I cannot change things, I have learnt a great deal over the last 10 years. I deeply regret and am remorseful for my past actions, when it comes to my Immigration history in the UK. Staying within the remit and boundaries of the law is something every upstanding citizen should do. I am grateful to all my fans and the UK Immigration services/Home Office for allowing me the opportunity to return back to the UK.”
Despite the setback in the past, Garry Sandhu didn’t give up on his dreams. Recounting the initial days after his return to India, Garry had said that he felt like his life had come to a standstill with minimal savings and having to face stigma for having been sent back home. But within a year Garry was back with a religious song – “Ik Tere Sahaara” – which he wrote himself and based on his life after returning to India, his struggle against depression and fight to stand back on to his own feet.
