Songs of praise - A Hymn for St Columba Songs of Praise factsheet for Sunday 13 January 2008 A Hymn for St Columba LORD I AM STANDING HERE SO FAR FROM HOME Music: Uli Roever and Michael Korb Words: Clive Clapson Tune: Highland Cathedral Source: Words unpublished, music Church Hymnary fourth edition. Canterbury Press May 2005. St Magnus Cathedral, Orkney Presented by Sally Magnusson Produced by David Strachan Orkney is a cluster of 70 or so islands off the north coast of Scotland, of which 17 are inhabited. Songs of Praise visited the two largest, Westray, population around 500, and Mainland, where most of the county's 20,000 residents live in its two largest towns, Kirkwall and Stromness. Accessed by a six hour ferry trip from Aberdeen or by a six hour drive from central Scotland followed by a short crossing from the north coast, or by flights from most of Scotland's cities, Orkney is not the easiest of places to go to and from by today's standards. Jo Grimmond, its late MP, famously remarked that his nearest railway station, which he was required to declare on a House of Commons expenses form, was Bergen in Norway. But a recent quality of life survey rated Orkney among the best places to live in terms of health, education and employment. Level of income was the only the only scale on which it did not score so highly, but where a community is so evidently happy and cohesive, what is really important? Songs of Praise offered a snapshot of the people and values behind the statistics. Unlike every other church in Scotland, St Magnus Cathedral, where the music was recorded, does not belong to any one denomination. It was given by James III of Scotland to the people of Kirkwall in 1486, and is now administered by Orkney Islands Council. The Icelandic Myth, Orkneyinga Saga, tales of the times of Norse rule over the islands, includes an old legend about how Magnus, one of the two Earls of Orkney, offered his life rather than allow conflict with his cousin to cause the deaths of others. This legend, which describes the manner of his death, an axe blow to the skull, was assumed to be less than historical until a skull with exactly such damage was found, along with the rest of a skeleton, hidden in one of the pillars of the Cathedral which bears his name.

Britain's Got Talent - John - The keyboard player Britain's Got Talent John - The keyboard player Britain's Got Talent is a British television show on ITV (also on TV3 in Ireland). Presented by Ant & Dec, the talent show premiered on 9 June 2007, and was broadcast daily with a live final on 17 June 2007. It is a search for Britain's next best amateur talent act, featuring singers, dancers, comedians, variety acts, and other talents of all ages. Anyone who believed they have talent was encouraged to audition. The winner of the show received £100,000 and performed at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen and members of the Royal Family at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool. As Britain's Got Talent returns for its second series, hosts Ant & Dec and judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan once again begin their search for Britain's most talented performer. The second series began on a primetime slot at 19:45 on 12 April and for the remainder of the auditions will continue in this Saturday night slot. Once the semi-finals begin they will be shown daily, like in series one, over one week 26 May - 30 May with the live final on Saturday 31 May. Format The series made its début soon after the conclusion of its U.S. counterpart, America's Got Talent, and is the creation of The X Factor and Pop Idol/American Idol mastermind Simon Cowell who has created a Got Talent series across the globe. On 12 February 2007 it was announced by ITV the judges would be Cowell, Piers Morgan (who had also judged America's Got Talent), and Amanda Holden (a late replacement for Cheryl Cole[1]). In a similar fashion to The X Factor, the show has an ITV2 counterpart called Britain's Got More Talent, presented by magician and former CITV presenter, Stephen Mulhern. The show was originally planned to air much earlier (before America's Got Talent) and be presented by Paul O'Grady. However, after O'Grady's defection to Channel 4 from ITV for The Paul O'Grady Show, O'Grady refused to appear in another ITV show, so the series was put on hold after just one rehearsal show.[2][3] The audition process is similar to The Gong Show but with the judges pressing buzzers instead of banging a gong. The buzzers can only be pressed once if the judge has seen enough, and when all three are pressed the act must stop. The auditions also include the added twist of having to perform in front of a studio audience alongside the judges. Once the act finishes or is stopped, judges express their opinions and decide whether they would like to see them in the semi-finals, with acts needing to receive a majority vote to go through. The audience is invited to express their views (often boos or cheers) which may have a positive or negative impact on a judge's decision, should the judge be unsure on whether to put the act through. taken from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain's_Got_Talent Official site: http://talent.itv.com/ Tags: Britain's got talent britain audition celebrity variety show |

The show was originally planned to air much earlier (before America's Got Talent) and be presented by Paul O'Grady. However, after O'Grady's defection to Channel 4 from ITV for The Paul O'Grady Show, O'Grady refused to appear in another ITV show, so the series was put on hold after just one rehearsal show.[2][3] The audition process is similar to The Gong Show but with the judges pressing buzzers instead of banging a gong. The buzzers can only be pressed once if the judge has seen enough, and when all three are pressed the act must stop. The auditions also include the added twist of having to perform in front of a studio audience alongside the judges. Once the act finishes or is stopped, judges express their opinions and decide whether they would like to see them in the semi-finals, with acts needing to receive a majority vote to go through. The audience is invited to express their views (often boos or cheers) which may have a positive or negative impact on a judge's decision, should the judge be unsure on whether to put the act through. taken from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain's_Got_Talent Official site: http://talent.itv.com/ Tags: Britain's got talent britain audition celebrity variety show |
