Find out more about the Songs of Praise presenters: Aled Jones, Pam Rhodes, Sally Magnusson, Diane Louise Jordan, Eamonn Holmes, and David Grant.

Born in 1970 in Llandegfan, Anglesey, Aled has been singing since he was two years old. At the age of nine, he joined Bangor Cathedral Choir where he came to the attention of a local record company and the BBC. Television performances and album deals followed and Aled achieved international stardom. He has performed with Leonard Bernstein, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and at the Hollywood Bowl. Aled has also appeared as Caractacus Potts in a recent stage version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Cardiff.
At the age of 12 Aled turned professional but had to 'retire' when his voice broke at 16. Six weeks after leaving theatre school Aled was cast by Andrew Lloyd Webber in a production of Joseph and His Technicolor Dreamcoat.
In 2004 Aled was voted Religious Broadcaster of the Year in the Churches Media Council's Andrew Cross Awards for his work with Songs of Praise.
In January 2006 Aled also joined BBC Radio to present Good Morning Sunday on Radio 2 and The Choir on Radio 3.
Aled can also be heard on Radio 2 as a regular presenter of Friday Night Is Music Night.

Pam Rhodes has been a familiar face on BBC Television's Songs of Praise for over twenty years, with high profile interviews and meetings including the Pope, Dr. Christiaan Barnard, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and members of the Royal Family.
Pam cut her teeth in news journalism as the anchor for Anglia Television's evening news programme and is a patron of many local and national charities. Well known as an after dinner speaker, Pam often comperes large orchestral and musical events at symphony halls around the country.
Pam has established herself as a prolific mainstream author in recent years, with five novels and eight factual books under her belt. She is married to Richard Crow and they live in an old farmhouse in Bedfordshire. Happiest in her wellies pottering about in the garden Pam loves singing, plays the piano very badly when she thinks no-one's listening - and can turn her hand to a mean party piece on the concert xylophone when really pressed!

Sally Magnusson has travelled the length and breadth of the United Kingdom - and beyond - presenting for Songs of Praise, which she joined in 1984.
She is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster and writer, who as well as Songs of Praise has presented a range of programmes for the BBC, including news, current affairs and politics. On TV she reports occasionally for Panorama and anchors the Scottish BBC news programme Reporting Scotland. She also presents the Radio 4 geneaology series Tracing Your Roots and the Radio Scotland magazine programme Sally on Sunday.
In 2007 the Institute of Contemporary Scotland awarded her a place in the Scottish Academy of Merit for services to the media. Her hard-hitting series, Britain's Secret Shame, won a Royal Television Society award as best daytime series in 2004 and she was part of the team that won a Scottish Bafta for their coverage of the Dunblane tragedy in 1996. In 1998 she was awarded a Royal Television Society award for her exclusive television interview with Earl Spencer, Diana: My Sister the Princess. In 2009 her BBC Scotland documentary Scotland's Brand New Bank was nominated for a Scottish BAFTA.
She began her career as a reporter on The Scotsman newspaper in Edinburgh and for several years presented the Breakfast programme on BBC1. Based in Glasgow, she is the author of several books, including Dreaming of Iceland, Glorious Things, Family Life, The Flying Scotsman and Life of Pee: The Story of How Urine Got Everywhere.

Since joining Songs of Praise, Diane Louise Jordan has become one of its most popular presenters.
She has a degree in Theatre Arts and spent six years on the road touring with theatre companies and appearing in plays.
She first made her name in television in her six years as a presenter on the children's programme Blue Peter.
In her spare time, Diane works tirelessly for charity, particularly NCH Action for Children. She is the only TV celebrity invited to sit on the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Committee.

Eamonn's journalistic career spans 30 years and he is the longest-serving breakfast television anchorman in Britain. He currently hosts the 3-hour Sunrise with Eamonn Holmes programme on Sky News, Monday to Thursday mornings. Eamonn's reign as the king of breakfast television stems back to the launch of the newly created GMTV in 1993, which he presented for 13 years.
Outside of his early starts, he continues to host a wide variety of programmes on all channels. He co-hosts the Friday edition of ITV1's This Morning alongside his wife Ruth Langsford. Eamonn has presented top-rated, prime-time quiz shows including Have I got News For You and The National Lottery's Jet Set for BBC1, Sudo-Q for BBC Two, ITV's The Feelgood Factor, along with Myleene Klass and The Rich List for Fox TV in America.
He has won the Television, Radio and Industry Club's award for Best Satellite and Digital TV Personality for two years running and has received honorary doctorates from Queen's University Belfast and Staffordshire University.
Father of four, Eamonn is a news and sports junkie and a passionate Manchester United fan but more than that, he has a great knowledge and love of soccer, as well as several other sports. He divides his time between Belfast, where he lives, London, where he works, and Manchester, where he worships!
