You may have seen this man at a mela or a festival event near you and might have thought he's part of the production crew or something.

Not true...Ansar Mahmood has been turning up to every mela and local event for years and always manages to raise a smile with the crowd.

The instantly recognisable dancing style of Ansar, nicknamed Michael Jackson can kick-start even the direrest of events and the amazing thing he never tires.

Asian Image finally managed to track the 'mela king' down to his workplace in Blackburn where he was all too happy to tell us why and how he manages to attend so many indoor and outdoor events throughout the country.

"I just do it for the enjoyment and I always manage to get people to join in. There is never any intention to cause any trouble and I just want all melas and events to be peaceful."

"I want to urge those who go to these events to understand there are always families there and young children and they shouldn't have to put up with trouble makers."

"You should be able to enjoy yourself without causing trouble."

"There are some people who intentionally go and start dancing in the wrong areas. I always pick the spots where I want to dance so nobody gets offended or anything."

Ansar attends most melas from London to Glasgow and says he is welcomed by all whenever he takes to the floor.

"I was in Bradford a couple of years ago and the people were very friendly. It is nice when some members of the older community came to me afterwards and asked me if I was tired and needed some water."

And the name Michael Jackson?

"Well, people have just started calling me that over the years. I don't want to blow my own trumpet but maybe it's because the way I dance."

Ansar of Whalley Range says the Bradford Mela followed by Birmingham and Blackburn melas are always top of his list when the summer comes round. He lists Abrar-Ul-Haq as the stage act most likely to get the crowd going.

"The festivals are family days out and I think it is duty of everyone to set an example to the youngsters."
