New Song - You Are There

I'm excited to annouce the unveiling of my latest recording. The song is called You Are There and has been described as a worship song by others. It represents quite a change in more than one area of my life.

First, it represents a new journey on my knowledge of recording techniques. Without going into boring detail I managed to utilize specialist features of a programme called Magix to create what I think is the best quality recording I've done to date.

Second, it has helped me to realise that sometimes it's good to wait instead of being so impatient. The song was birthed back in September/October and I've been picking at since then. Fotunatel I have a wonderful and patient wife who allowed me the space and time to complete the recording during the Christmas Holidays.

Finally, it marks a change in attitude, once again, regarding my faith and how I share it. I'm still not going to drum my beliefs into everybodys ears, but I'm not going to shy away from the fact that I am overjoyed to proclaim that I believe Jesus has rescued me from the sting of death. Every part of my life has been mapped out for me and I sometimes can't quite believe how every step is so wonderfully choreographed through thick and thin. Even to the point where the rough times have prepared me for each next step. It's easy to say this as I walk in a time of bounty, but right now I see a purpose for my life as a servant of God.

I hope you enjoy the song as much as I've enjoyed making it.

Many blessings
Steve

Music Specialist Status at William Lovell CofE School

Since beginning my new job at William Lovell Church of England School Stickney Lincolnshire I haven't the opportunity to stand still. Shortly after beginning the job I discovered that we were seeking specialist status in music. As the head of music this clearly meant an awful lot to me both as a challenge and an opportunity for the school. I can now confirm that we have been successful in our bid, praise God. As a church school there was a huge amount of prayer went into this project and now we seek to find Gods will through it all, especially with the need to appoint a new member to the department. I pray that God will bring us a candidate who is not only a skilled music teacher, but also has a heart for worship and a desire to share Gods world with our students, many of whom are unbelievers.

God is so good.

New website

Having successfully moved my webhost to twoedgemedia I am pleased to announce that I'm pretty close to a total revamp on my website. Some of you may have seen the red version for a short which I struggled with to set up the template. Finally I decided enough is enough and decided to adopt a template from free css templates. My thanks go to Robin and Helen of Living Hope to drawing my attention to these templates. Check out their website too locustmusic
I truly hope you enjoy the new website and welcome any suggestions you may have.

Anyone near Hull, UK?

Shameless plug I know, but you don't get anything if you don't try

After a long period of no activity I seem to have been thrust into the frontline again much to my delight. Saturday 19th April 2008 is my next 'gig' at Manna Coffee, in Hull. Manna Coffee is a chiristian coffee house that has recently set up n outreach 'church' that is based around the Alpha model and is aiming to break down the preconceptions tha many people have about what church is about. The series of Saturday night concerts is one the attempts draw people from the in to experience the love of Jesus in action. I feel quite honoured to be the first artist in the series. In the gig I will performing acoustic versions of a selection of the songs I have written. It seems the last few gigs have been just me and the guitar with some help form my good friend Nigel Halliday playing the Bodhran and guitar and singing backing vocals.

So if you're nearby why not drop in and support MannaLife in their new venture. The evening will begin with an open mic if you're interested.
