On a very warm evening, we were glad the studio is air-conditioned. I was joined by Sheila and Michael Evill. Sheila spoke about being the verger at Fyerning Church for 31 years and told an amusing story about a bride and a bat! She also talked about living in Africa for 13 years. Her son Michael talked about working in the library at Ingatestone and his visits to the Brentwood Centre to go to the swimming pool and the gym.

We also heard on the phone from Simon Manterfield previewing Billericay FC’s season and the first home game against Truro. Susan and Ian requested Lionel Ritchie and Lee requested ELO. We also heard from Ed and Phyl & Derek. Other music included tracks from Belle and Sebastian, Godley and Creme, Katy Melua, Kate Bush, Toto, Soweto String Quartet, 10CC, Paul Simon, Don Henley, Dione Warwick and many others. Next week I am joined By Revd. David Norfield, RAF Chaplain who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You can leave requests for next week on this page. You could also leave any questions for David. See you next week.
