A COMMUNITY radio station has teamed up with folk singer Rick Christian to record two half-hour programmes.

Link Radio, which broadcasts to residential homes in Castle Point, is recording the programme called Rick Christian at Thundersley Christian Spiritualist Church, on Friday, May 11, at 7.45pm.

Link Radio's chairman John Brennan said: "Rick has worked for this station in the past with very good results. He appeared on my programme a few years ago where, as well as being interviewed, he also sang and played guitar."

The radio station wanted to record the programme in front of a live audience.

The church, in Coombe Wood, on Bread and Cheese Hill, offered its building to record the programmes and, in return, the radio station has offered to help raise funds for the church.

Mr Brennan said: "We are happy to be able to assist with their fundraising."

Those who would like to attend the recording at the church are asked to make donations in the region of £5.
