Profile Information
- Home Church:
- St John's Yeadon
- Musical Gift(s):
- Guitar, songwriting, vocals (sort of), other bits and pieces
- About Me:
- I am the worship leader for St. John's Church, Yeadon, U.K. (http://www.stjohnsyeadon.org) - a smallish, but growing, church just north of Leeds, West Yorkshire. I've been writing worship songs, on and off, for about 13 years, when I get the time. This isn't so very often: I'm married, and a father of four young children! I also have a day-job - I am a lecturer in the maths department at the University of Leeds.
- Favourite Music:
- Worship stuff: Stuart Townend, Tim Hughes, Holy CD, Neil Bennetts.....
Other stuff: Radiohead, the latest "TV on the Radio" album (Dear Science), KT Turnstall, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Jeff Buckley, Damien Rice, Bill Frissel....
- Favourite Books / Authors
- For Christian stuff, it has to be NT Wright, especially "Jesus and the Victory of God", and "The Resurrection of the Son of God", "Paul, Fresh Perspectives", "Surprised by Hope".....
For general fiction, I really like David Mitchell's work (Cloud Atlas and Ghostwritten especially).
- Favourite Bible Verses / Passages:
- Too many to choose from.
