What Is Your Best Achievement to Date?
After visiting the Middle East, I wrote a modern version of O Little Town of Bethlehem called Broken Town, reflecting the realities for ordinary people in The West Bank today. I was thrilled to hear that it was sung in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on Christmas Day last year. Wow.
Why Did You Want To Be Involved With Bay FM Radio? Because I have seen how high quality Community Radio can enrich a local area through informing and inspiring residents to take an interest, get involved and celebrate their town. Exmouth has a lot to celebrate!
