Jerusalem Awards

I was thrilled to win Best Internet Programme at the Jerusalem Awards last night (Thursday 15th) for Budgerigar and Prisoner. Thanks to Les, Fr Robert King and Gareth Davies Jones.

Bereavement - A Reflection

Here is the youtube link to the Bereavement programme that won a Merit award - and 2 golds.  If you think it could help anyone please send it on.  It is presented and written by Peter Hobbs and is a beautiful and moving reflection on loss.  Its about 6 mins long.

Another Award

It was an honour to win a Merit Award at the Sandford St Martin Awards last night in the radio category. It was for my Bereavement programme, written and presented by Peter Hobbs and is a moving and beautifully written reflection on loss.  

Thanks to Tom Bigwood at BCfm for broadcasting the programme.

Sony Gold Award

I won Gold for Best Internet Programme last night at the Sony Radio Academy Awards in London and the link takes you to the webcast.

 It was an amazing night and I am thrilled.  The judges described the programme as:

 “A beautifully and subtly crafted programme which used the simplest materials to tell a compelling story and deliver profound emotional impact.  It was perfectly adapted to the medium, breaking genre boundaries to deliver its message to the target audience with perfect pitch.” 

Clifton Diocese entered the award on my behalf and here is their write-up.  Thank you to Tom and the Diocese for entering me.

Thank you so much to Robert King for your gentle insights, Gareth Davies-Jones for the beautiful music and of course Les and his budgie.
