from The Greenbelt Festival Last weekend some 25,000 young people and families came together to camp in the grounds of Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire. They were attending Europe's largest Christian music and arts festival.
Sally Magnusson went along to taste the excitement of the main stage performances and share this unique blend of music, worship, celebration and study. She met Bishop David Sheppard , one of the speakers, young people drawn to the festival and some of the gospel music stars taking part.
Songs of Praise includes traditional hymns from the open-air Communion Service, the best in gospel music from John Michael Talbot and Martyn Joseph , and songs from groups drawn from the Iona and Taize communities. Engineering manager JOHN LIVINGSTONE
