Ouch! Back from Canada after 13 flights, 8 days, and 6 gigs with thousands of excited concert-goers. Managed to shake off most of the manflu that had beset the start of the tour, but even now the dull fog of lingering illness has been amplified by the onset of the dreaded jet lag! I generally […]

Just getting ready for one of the largest Christian gatherings to take place in the UK this year - Revival '12, which is taking place in the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, this Friday 28th September. If everyone who has claimed a 'free' ticket turns up, there will be over 8,000 people in attendance, and although […]

Off to Canada soon for a few concerts with Robin Mark and band. We'll be joining with well-known author Max Lucado for a few nights as he launches his new book, and partnering with World Vision, to promote child sponsorship in the developing world. If you're in the area it would be great to see […]

A number of people have been asking about the hymn 'Praise to the Lord, the Almighty' as featured at New Horizon 2012. A few years ago (with lots of help from a German-English dictionary!) I translated from the original German chorale Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren by Joachim Neander. I wanted to […]

New Horizon 2012 has flown by! I have been totally blown away by the volume of singing from the participants while we've been leading worship each morning and evening. Truly a beautiful sound. We've had a warm reception and it's lovely to find people seeking out the arrangements of some of the songs we've been […]
