Christian singer songwriter Marina Bottelli Price was the studio guest this evening. She sang three songs from her album A very high wall. She also chose three tracks and used these to talk about her life in a very honest and moving manner. We were also joined by John Metcalf, President of the Ingatestone Rotary Club. He talked about the excellent work that Rotary are doing in supporting the initiative to eradicate polio from the world. From 256 countries, now there are only three left. There is an excellent event in Ingatestone this week to support. We heard of the mystery Irish woman who found a rare £5 note engraved with a portrait of Jane Austen and donated it to charity to be used to help young people.
