Slaying a giant - and remembering a dear and hugely gifted friend, as we're At Your Service today

X At Your Service

Sunday, 7 January 2024 - 30 minutes

One By One is an international charity dedicated to preventing the exploitation of vulnerable people - particularly children and young teenagers - and today in conversation with founder and CEO Becky Murray we find out how it all began - quite by accident - during a trip to Sierra Leone, with 50p and a pair of pink flip flops.
We were all deeply saddened to learn of the death of Marilyn Cannell BEM - a gifted musician, teacher, composer, and Methodist Local Preacher. Marilyn gave so much to music on the Island - but on today's programme we celebrate her deep faith by listening again to some of her contributions to Manx Radio's Thought for the Day, mixed with just one of her many musical compositions - The Celtic Cantata drew together words and music from the Celtic tradition, mixed with new music written by Marilyn. The singers are Mandy Griffin and Karen Elliott and the pianist is - of course - Marilyn herself.
May she rest in peace - and rise in glory!
And there's notice board news too - items for inclusion can be emailed to judithley@manxradio.com
