Over the past few months the problem of Forced Marriage and so called Honour-based violence has been in the headlines, not least with the tragic murder of a north London teenager. In December 2009 Mehmet Goran was jailed for the murder of his 15 year old daughter Tulay in an “honour” killing.

East London based Ashiana are a domestic violence support project that has helped many people across the capital, mainly women, escape the trap of forced marriage. They have also recently set up a new refuge. Ben Cooper went to their offices in Leytonstone and spoke to director Shaminder Ubhi.

This is an Exclusive Interview with the one and only Jesse Johnson, the ‘greatest guitarist alive’ who is shortly to play the Jazz Cafe in Camden Town. Jesse talks with lucky Wayne Boucaud, of Camden Community Radio, about his new album ‘Verbal Penetration’.
Jesse’s music is informed by his sense of the interconnectedness between people that dates from a childhood spent close to people active in the Black liberation movements in the USA and South Africa. He talks here about the difficulty of recording albums such as his ‘Black in America’ which some record companies see as a minority interest and how this led him to talk the path he has. UNMISSABLE!!
