On Wednesday August 21st 2002, Christ Church's choir, augmented with a few friends to bring the numbers up to around 20 singers, travelled to Emmanuel Church in Didsbury. Arriving at shortly after 8.00am, they rehearsed the Daily service which was then broadcast live on Radio 4 LW at 9.45am. They then recorded the music which (after some cutting of verses) was broadcast on Thursday 22nd August. Below are a few snapshots taken by David Kaye of the scene in Emmanuel Church.
