Additional Ish Concerts over the last 10 years
10 years ago, I decided to be adventurous and to try doing other concerts rather than just Praise Parties and All Age Celebrations.
Would I do any of them again today if requested?
Well, I’d certainly try and give any of them another go!
This was the first where I played a lot of my very early songs including the crazy Ishmael & Andy story songs like ‘the grunting song’ & Eli the fly. A bit like a Pub sing-a-long. All audience participation, laughter and evangelism presented in it’s nuttiest form.
The History of Ishmael.
This took over from ‘A Sting in the Tale and I changed it into a musical autobiography. Starting from my very beginning in a Christian community, followed by my ‘wild’ years, my very varied music years, my very happy marriage years and my many years of marvellous mayhem that has followed.
Glorie Days.
I had of course mentioned the Glories in ‘History’ but I had so much to say about what we saw God doing throughout the Glorie Company years, I decided to make it into a whole concert. And of course this involved singing lots of favourite Glorie songs.
Scripture Song Concert.
Again this was a progression on from the other concerts as I saw the need (and desire) that all ages had to learn and sing along with Scripture especially when memorising is full of fun and interaction.
The Big Celebration concert.
A ‘one off’ for the year 2020 where I sang all praise and worship songs to celebrate 70 years on the earth and 50 years on the road…of course I’d have to add another 5 years on to repeat it today!
When the road is rough and steep.
The very latest musical testimony concert of tough times and living through them that has been so appreciated by others going through similar situations. Irene and I are still travelling with this concert today.
