001 Remembering Mike Stanley ~ The Early Years [Podcast]
In this month's episode, we remember and celebrate the music and legacy of our co-founder, Mike Stanley, who sadly died on Thursday 6 June 2013, aged just 48.
As we kick off the new year, Mike is very much in our hearts and minds. He would have celebrated his 49th birthday this month and one of his last public appearances with the CJM team was a year ago, for the BBC Radio 4 Sunday Worship broadcast on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
Remembering Mike Stanley
In this episode Jo Boyce is talking to Andrew Moss, one of the many wonderful musicians who make up the CJM MUSIC Collective. Together they share their memories of the early days of the Boyce & Stanley musical partnership - even before the official incarnation of CJM MUSIC.

Listener Memories of Mike
Hi it’s Millie from Huddersfield, one of my favourite memories of Mike is when the Walsignham pilgrimage in 2010 and I was sat on the ground with a sign and Mike came and sat next to me. We talked for at least 20 minutes about music and I could have sat and listened to him all day because he was so amazingly interesting and that memory will stay with me forever.
My name is Pauline Payne and I run our folk group at St Mary’s Catholic Church in South Wigston, in Leicester we’ve been very inspired by Mike’s music, ministry and all the workshops we’ve been to with himself and Jo. We’d just like to say we always found him to be a very happy, pleasant, sincere and holy man who was proud of his faith and family and a very sincere way of passing on his faith to us all. An inspirational person whose work will go on for a long time.
We would love to hear from you
