African Angels Chorus, Lifestyle Chat - Arranged Marriages, Knee Injuries Part 2

The Cape Town Opera Chorus is coming to Basel with its "African Angels" programme on February 27th, a programme which covers opera, gospel and African Traditionals. Anna spoke to Michael Williams, the Managing Director of Cape Town Opera, about the astonishing singing talent in South Africa, the rehearsal process, and what to expect at the concert - it will be a joyous experience! Listen to the interview again here.

Gaynor's Lifestyle Chat is back - this month it was all about arranged marriages and a true life story. GITA, originally from India, shared her courageous story and gave details of her wedding day and her life after she moved to the UK alone, leaving her small child in India. A very inspiring listen. Gaynor also gave us some stats about arranged marriage, and where to turn to if you need help.

With the winter sports season in full swing, Health Matters expert Dr. Michelle Wright from our correspondents at the BlueBox team brings us the second of two segments about knee injuries on the slopes. This week, the more common, more minor knee injuries: self-help measures and when you need to seek medical advice. Listen to the segment again here.
