Songs of Praise: Crosby Beach

Crosby Beach

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Crosby Beach

The Rev Kate Bottley meets Christian artists on Crosby Beach in Merseyside.

The Rev Kate Bottley visits Crosby Beach to meet Christian artists inspired by Antony Gormley's striking iron statues that have stared out to sea for 15 years.

The Rev Kate Bottley is on Crosby Beach celebrating the 15th anniversary of the iron men sculptures created by artist Antony Gormley. Kate speaks to local Christians who have been inspired by the statues to create their own artworks, including paintings, photography and performance.

James Lusted meets one of the founding members of Crossbeats, a Liverpool-based band credited with helping to bring Contemporary Christian Music to the UK back in the 1960s. Kate travels just along the coast to Formby, hoping to see the rare red squirrel. She visits the prayer centre there, right in the heart of the National Trust conservation area.

Recorded before the closure of church buildings.
