BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Gospel in Cornwall: Gillian Burke and Richard Penrose

Gillian Burke continues to explore her love of Gospel music in and around Falmouth.

Biologist and presenter Gillian Burke explores the anatomy of gospel music with musical director Richard Penrose, whose love of gospel began as a teenager in Porthleven.

In 2014 the biologist and presenter Gillian Burke joined a community choir in Falmouth in a bid to strengthen her voice. Singing is Gillian's passion and it's her way of switching off from work and the pressures of life.

In this second programme Gillian delves deeper into the mechanics of gospel music and asks Musical Director Richard Penrose exactly what makes a Gospel song.  They discuss Richard's own route into Gospel music which began when he was a teenager in his home town of Porthleven.

Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Toby Field
