National Relaxation Day

Radio 2 Unwinds with Angela Griffin is one hour of seriously soothing radio on National Relaxation Day.

Angela Griffin celebrates National Relaxation Day with an hour of blissed out brilliance. She’s playing a selection of music to stretch out and recline in the comfiest of chairs. National Relaxation Day was dreamt up in 1985 by a nine year old boy in Michigan called Sean Moeller. He said at the time, 'People don’t think enough about relaxing'. Wise words from someone so young. So give yourself a licence to chill with music from Rihanna, The Style Council, The Fugees, Billie Holiday, Lorde and Joni Mitchell.

As one of the UK's most successful and much-loved TV actors, Angela Griffin has starred in Coronation Street, Holby City, Waterloo Road, Lewis and most recently 90s nostalgia drama White Lines. She loves nothing more than relaxing with friends and family listening to her favourite music and on Radio 2 Unwinds you can hear a sample of those songs and her memories of where she heard them and why they mean so much to her.
