‘Song of the Island’ CD – Francis McFaul and Fresh Manna
Our friend Francis McFaul has released a beautiful new album, ‘Song of the Island’, featuring 14 original songs, and is a musical journey celebrating 200 years of Christian witness at Sannox in particular.

We have copies available at Sannox for £5, plus postage and packing. Contact us to order. Copies are also available from Francis. Visit his website here.
