This week's guests are Jean and Patti from the band St Lucia. With childhood links to South Africa for Jean, coming home to perform is always special, and so we jumped at the chance to have them come visit us for a chat. We talk through Jean's childhood as a member of the Drakensburg Boys Choir, their new double album Fata Morgana, finding hope and happiness in today's art being made, and of course all the films they have loved across their lives. All this and lots more!
