Graduate John Marshall and singer-songwriter Winnie Ama
Graduate John Marshall and singer-songwriter Winnie Ama.
For many people graduation marks the end of a chapter but for Belfast father John Marshall it represents years of perseverance and resilience. He's faced significant personal challenges including the devastating death of his 7-year-old son, Mateo, and battling stage four cancer.
John sits down with Anna to reflect on a remarkable journey and what it felt like to finally cross the stage and collect his degree.
One of Northern Ireland's finest soul talents, Winnie Ama, has shared stages with major artists including Sister Sledge and Macy Gray but has she caught the acting bug?
She's recently performed in a New York production of 'North Star' a modern celebration of Belfast's anti-slavery heritage, highlighting the transatlantic synergy between Irish and Black creative movements. And features in the latest 'Supergirl' film and her song 'What are we' also features on the soundtrack.
Anna also looks ahead to a Super Sunday of sport with the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain plus the 2026 All Ireland Hurling final as Limerick take on Galway.
Plus a Summer themed 'Sun'day Songbook has the perfect blend of songs to soundtrack your day.
