Good Friday Reflections

The Reverend Kate Bottley reflects on the loss, faith and hope found in the Easter story, with inspiring guests and beautiful music.

The Reverend Kate Bottley hosts a reflective show with beautiful music and inspiring guests. Grief affects us all at some point and Good Friday is a time when many reflect on the impact of loss, but there is hope, faith and love to be found in the Easter story.
In the show, Kate will provide a space for grieving but also offer hope, and she will be joined by guests who’ve found healing after loss. Rapper Guvna B has spoken openly about how he learnt to deal with his grief following the death of his father and has found hope in his relationship with his own children. He’s written a book explaining heaven to children, and will share a Pause for Thought.
Tiggy Walker joins Kate to talk about how she’s navigating grief after the loss of her husband and Radio 2 legend Johnnie Walker – and shares how the last song Johnnie played on his show - Amazing Grace - has continued to be of such significance. Kate will also be joined by Ether Ghey who will share how she has found forgiveness and healing following the murder of her teenage daughter Brianna two years ago.
Christian singer-songwriter, Sharyn lost her Dad to cancer and she will share how her faith and community helped her after his death and she'll perform two songs from the album she wrote while grieving. There will also be specially recorded gospel music from Melodees from Heaven including their take on Blinded by your Grace and Shackles. Plus there’ll be music from the MOBO Awards 2025 Best Gospel Act, Annatoria, as well as artists including Whitney Houston and Dolly Parton. Producer: Miriam Williamson, a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Audio North production.
