BBC Radio Cornwall Breakfast Show

On 12 March 2024, Jon Hare was invited onto the BBC Radio Cornwall Breakfast Show, to talk to James Churchfield about With Courage and how the idea of a musical to celebrate the RNLI’s 200th anniversary came about.

With a sneak preview of the title song played, this was the first public opportunity to discuss the show, the research and visits to RNLI stations that have fed into the creative process, and to tell radio listeners about the recently-announced opening show dates at the Minack Theatre on 5 and 6 September 2024.

Jon said, “It was such a pleasure to drop in and talk to James Churchfield, live on air from Truro about the development of this new musical for the bicentenary, and the incredible lives of the RNLI communities behind the stories being told.”
