BBC One - Songs of Praise, Birmingham

Rev Kate Bottley is in Birmingham to meet Julian Lloyd Webber and a family of alpacas.

Rev Kate Bottley is in Birmingham to see how Christianity is at work in the city, and she meets Julian Lloyd Webber at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Rev Kate Bottley is in Birmingham to hear how Christianity is at work in this modern, multicultural city. She visits Winson Green to meet the Christian couple who have dedicated their lives to working in urban areas. They have some unusual ways of connecting with people, including walking their alpacas to the local school and back.

Josie d'Arby catches up with Julian Lloyd Webber, principal of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and hears from students aiming to become the next generation of cathedral organists. There is also a special performance from past student, singer-songwriter Laura Mvula.

For Black History Month the programme finds out about the faith and food that the Caribbean community has brought to the city, and there are hymns from St Germain's church in Birmingham.

Music:
Blessed Assurance - St Germain's Church, Birmingham
The Servant King - St Albans Cathedral
Crown Him with Many Crowns - Royal Albert Hall
It Is Well with My Soul performed by Laura Mvula
