Caroline Devlin is Chair of the Friends of Ballaugh Old Church - a community group committed to protecting and preserving the iconic little church with the famous 'leaning' gateposts - and to exploring and interpreting its fascinating history. Her love for the church has inspired her to write a Christmas song - listen to its first play during today's programme - featuring Caroline on vocals together with the children of Ballaugh School, and orchestration by David Kilgallon - and hear how the song and the beautiful new video which accompanies it, are being used to raise funds for work on the church.And we find out about Alternativity, in conversation with Rev'd Liz Hull, Vicar of St Thomas's Church in Douglas, and World Development Committee Members (organisers of Alternativity) Christine Sugden and Phil Craine. Alternativity is in St Thomas's Church, Finch Road, Douglas at 7:30pm on Thursday 5 December - all are welcome!And there's Advent music from Aled Jones and Graham Kendrick - plus another packed notice board!
