Holds out His hands
True Light – published today on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon…
Today, ‘True Light’ is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal… and a heap of other platforms!
“Rest for your Soul” the story behind the song released in a booklet…
Tonight we’ve received from the printers the booklets, “Rest for your Soul” – the booklet contains the story shared online here: https://turquoisetracks.com/videos/rest/
I plan to give these away this Easter time with the intention of triggering conversations around these biggest themes! If you’d like some, let me know!
In the days of CDs and records, I loved the photography and artwork. These little booklets (this is the fourth I’ve done like this) give an outlet for that old idea… and give the opportunity to share the story behind the song.
Here’s a mockup of the printed design:
Stories and Songs in Bournemouth…
Loved playing in Bournemouth last weekend.
It was especially good to play with Stan Majerski on keys. We met in the Balkans and he produced and played on two albums that were developed out there: “Dreams of a Homecoming” and “This is for you”. We’ve also toured a lot together along with our larger five-price band. In my opinion, the man is a genius – if you’ve heard his melodic solos and creative harmonies, I expect you agree!
Tapestry
Sharing an evening of “Stories and Songs”, we wanted to weave together music, conversation and visual art that point to the reality of the “God who is there”. The One who has come towards us in the person of Jesus to draw us into connection – relationship – with Him through His death and resurrection…
With one or two events most weeks until the end of March, I’ll keep you posted!
Here are some images taken on the evening by the gifted Bournemouth photographer, Loïc Salan…

Live Music through 2015…
It’s been a busy few months playing in Edinburgh, London, Swansea, Sienna, Florence, Copenhagen…
As well as solo events, it has been great to work with friends like Michael Ots, Lindsay Brown, Michael Green who use these live songs as “illustrations” or “moments of reflection” during their talks to universities or other groups.
I’ll post a few shots over the next few days of some of these events!
