Musician Steve Chandra Savale on London life and joining the Asian Dub Foundation in 1994

Bobby is joined in the studio by Steve Chandra Savale, Nadia Alibhai and Urooj Ashfaq!

Bobby Friction is joined by British musician Steve Chandra Savale, who is the Made in London guest. He was part of the Asian Dub Foundation in 1994 and his interest of music came from his father Sharad Savale, an immigrant from Hyderabad, India and his mother Jean Worsfold from Littlehampton. They were an unusual couple by the 1950's standards in London.

Nadia Alibhai is a celebrity osteopath, the founder of a well-being clinic in West London and a wellness columnist. With over 23 years of experience, she talks to us about the vitamin D deficiency in the South Asian Community.

The Aga Khan Music Programme is a music and arts education programme with worldwide performance, mentoring and artistic production activities. The awards are coming to London this month - with four days of concerts, collaborations and celebration of global music at the Southbank Centre. Fairouz Nishanova is the director and tells Bobby Friction all about it.

One of India’s most exciting comics Urooj Ashfaq is back in Soho and in the studio with Bobby! She had a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run with How To Be A Baddie - about challenging a British critic who labelled her 'conservative', despite her edgier reputation in India.
