Hi folks, and thanks again so much for logging on.

We’re just back from a family holiday, and while we were away, the manufacturing of Psalms Revisited was underway, and the finished product arrived today- Monday-  our first day back in the office!  The album is a bit of a risk, in that I have re-recorded some of the Psalms first done twenty years ago, and I have no doubt that I will pick up some comments by folks saying that they still prefer the old versions!  My hope is that the freshness of the tracks will appeal to a new audience, and that we will pick up some good radio play also. My colleague David Cullen in New Zealand is going to distribute the album there, and I believe it could be very well received.

The concert diary for November has filled up very well, with many concerts coming in again from Northern Ireland. My links with Compassion and India Ministries Fellowship continue, and I will be drawing people’s attention to both organizations at concerts.

I have a special day on November 10th, when I have been invited to participate in Christian Solidarity Worldwide’s national conference in London. I have written songs for them previously, and they asked me to do it again. On this new album, my setting of Psalm 34, which has not been recorded before, has been dedicated to CSW, and I’ll be singing it at the conference.  Do link over to www.csw.org.uk - worth a look.  

       Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new album--  all comments appreciated!        Ian.
