Great time with minister Graham and friends at Coventry Baptist Church on Tuesday. Lovely warm hearted people. I was reminded of Jesus quote ‘in my fathers house are many rooms’….This church building must have the most rooms inside it I’ve ever seen.  Even the members were unsure how many there rooms there are! Another wonderful ‘Sting in the Tale’ concert followed on Wednesday in Erdington in Birmingham. The audience were so enthusiastic! I was invited there by my long time chum ‘Mr Banana’ otherwise known as Peter Green. Pete was running a thriving childrens work at Spring Harvest just prior to the Glorie Company who succeeded his great ‘fruity’ team.…

Another great fun ‘Glorie Days’ concert last night in Chiddingfold. People seemed to really enjoy it…especially when they discovered that they could instantly join in singing the old ‘Glorie’ songs …even though they had never heard them before.’Instant Ish”…that’s me! The ‘Glorie Days’ concerts follow on from the ‘Sting in the Tale’ concerts so expect to see lots more of them advertised later in 2018 / 2019. Here are the concert dates booked thus far for the next few months, if I am anywhere near you please make a note of the date and come along and join in the fun! If you’ve any friends / relatives near any of…

As some of you know, since my intensive cancer treatment I have had a serious hearing disability. Harley Street informed me it’s not straight deafness, I suffer from speech indiscrimination. That means unless a person speaks very clearly, I just hear the sounds of their voice but my brain cannot work quickly enough to pick up their words without them having to be repeated. This is really debilitating as it rules out me going to shows, lectures even sitting at a hospital patients bedside and understanding their words can at times be very difficult. Thankfully I have no problem preaching or doing concerts….although a good foldback speaker really does help!…

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for me this morning. I got through the 2 services in Horsham ok and I felt that both of the large congregations were very generous in their support and encouragement. I just did not feel very well with my nose running, my voice croaking and my body shivering.. I felt I was not able to quite give of my best but there was no way that I was going to cancel being with them because of a stupid cold! While I’ve got you, I will be doing a mini-Sting in the Tale concert tour in Norfolk next Jaunuary (2018) and am already booked…

It took quite a few ‘Sing in the Tale’ concerts before I felt that I had the right mix of stories and songs…which now I feel is just right. However on Friday night brother Timbo and I performed it’s successor ‘Glorie Days’ for the first time since Spring Harvest and I was really pleased with both the mix of stories and songs and thrilled with the audience response! It was almost like being back in the Glorie Company…but with people more my age rather than 8-11 year olds! Today I’m driving up to St Mary’s Church in Horsham to take part singing and preaching at 2 services for them which…
