It’s almost a month since Pentecost Sunday when we launched Dreams, Reality and Everything In Between and the response has been really encouraging.
The gig was amazing and the positive feedback we’ve received about the night and the album keeps on coming. Thank you to all who attended and bought CDs, T-shirts and DVDs. BMS World Mission were extremely grateful for both the offering we took and the DVD sales.
Since the album launch I have been busy writing letters and emails to thank those involved and explore how we can take things forward from here. We’re looking at taking on more bookings as a band and even putting together a short UK tour. We’ll keep you posted!
The album is now also available on iTunes, so please let any international friends know!
Who knows where God will take this set of songs, but I’m praying they change lives.

Throughout the centuries songs have told stories. These are no different. They are both my story and the story of our church as we live out our faith in our city and our world. We have seen the stuff of dreams: miracles on the streets; the homeless dancing in worship; lives being transformed by the gospel.
We’ve also seen the stuff of reality. We’ve experienced moments when it makes no sense at all. Even as I recorded the vocals for this album we were grappling with saying goodbye to our own young hero of the faith, who passed away unexpectedly.
Between these two worlds exists a place where the Kingdom can break in and bring change.
With just over two weeks to go until the album launch it’s all go here at the PJM office. The art work is complete, the mastering done and the CD is being pressed. We thought we would give you a little taste of what’s to come by giving you a track before the official release, for free!
Come Everybody Let’s Go is the opening song and will be played at the launch gig. So once you’ve downloaded it, get learning it ready for May 23rd and come ready to sing your heart out!
Enjoy and thanks for the support.

Over the last few months I have been busy writing songs for a new worship album and I’m very excited to announce that the album is due to be launched with a massive gig on the evening of Sunday 23rd May 2010.
This will be held at St Thomas’ Church Philadelphia in Sheffield, where you will be the first to hear the new album performed live and in full!
I’m also excited to announce that we will be collecting an offering for the work of BMS World Mission during the gig. They are an amazing organisation that I’m privileged to have the opportunity to work with. As we will have just launched the Thailand material at the beginning of May it will be great to have some of the guys from BMS with us on the night and raise some money for them.
BMS resources will also be available to buy at the gig and below you will find more information about BMS and ways to get involved.
So take a look and remember to bring lots of cash on the night to support their work!
A bit about BMS World Mission…
BMS World Mission is a Christian mission organisation working in 34 countries across 4 continents. They have been faithfully seeking to change lives for the better ever since BMS was founded by William Carey in 1792.
Their work is diverse and far reaching, aiming to provide those in need with funding, training and expertise in core areas, such as church planting development, disaster relief, education, health, media and advocacy.
I was invited to lead some worship and play a charity concert in Omaha, USA early in 2009. Ceeds (Chris Davies) who plays guitar in the band came too. We ended up being asked if we wanted to go to an open mic night that someone from the church was running. It wasn’t long before Chris and I were asked to do something. Ceeds tore up a great solo on “Knocking On Heaven’s Door” and then we ended up jamming “Stand By Me”. People shouted for us to do one more as an encore and so it felt appropriate to play an all time great American tune before exiting. What better than the Fresh Prince Of Bell Air theme tune?!
These are the photos from Glory Revolution that we (me and my band) played at in “The Plug” venue in Sheffield . We’re gearing up for the next one in December, make sure you don’t miss it! (Photos taken by Lex Peets)
