Aled Jones meets award-winning saxophonist and broadcaster YolanDa Brown, who shares the story of her faith through the cherished hymns and worship songs that have guided her through life.
Most at home when she is performing, Aled meets YolanDa at a recording studio in east London – and even has a go at playing the sax under YolanDa’s expert tuition! Aled then discovers some of YolanDa’s earliest musical memories and how faith helped her navigate through some significant life decisions.
YolanDa tells Aled about some of her biggest influences and how the faith of her beloved grandmother was a particular inspiration. She takes Aled to visit Greenleaf Baptist Church in Walthamstow, where her grandmother worshipped for 30 years.
