Paul Stoakes replied to Wayne Pau's discussion 'Where have all the grumpy people gone?' in the group Old and Wrinkly!"Try Reverberation!
It's a bit like trying to spell check guit for guitar, just add the word "reverb" to your dictionary and it will be OK from then on."
Paul Stoakes replied to Wayne Pau's discussion 'Where have all the grumpy people gone?' in the group Old and Wrinkly!"Talking of Dwarfs, did you here the one about the password:
‘I needed a password eight characters long, so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.’
All the grumpy people are still here just asleep and waiting to be poked."
Paul Stoakes replied to Vic Salt's discussion 'Which new Christian Artists should I check out'"Hi Vic,
I know he's not rock and roll but check out Danny Cope (Album: Colour me in).
Great lyrics to great songs and with a great voice, I understand Danny, once a local Romford lad, played Bass guitar with Dave Bilborough and now lectures in…"
Paul Stoakes replied to Dorothy Murphy's discussion 'Worship Leader?' in the group UK Worship Forum - UK Worship Leaders Network"Phil, I am with you on your post; being up front you can become the focus of attention. I am so grateful that our church music group play on the same level as the congregation, that is, not raised up on a platform, therefore we are more part of the…"
James Goodman left a comment for Paul Stoakes"Ha - no I just checked my home emails at work. However, my workplace is like the Marie Celeste today - it's a university so many people are on holiday, sorry I meant study leave ;-)"
Paul Stoakes left a comment for James Goodman"Hi, you were very prompt in adding me as a friend, you must have too much spare time!
Only joking, it's a day off work for me and I also was checking out emails and other computer related stuff as well."
James Goodman left a comment for Paul Stoakes"Hi Paul - thanks for adding me as a friend. Like you I am also a middle aged guitarist who still feels 22 (ish)! Trouble is, I think I'm becoming more radical as I get older :-)
I like your choices of favourite music too.
God bless -…"
Paul Stoakes replied to Dorothy Murphy's discussion 'Worship Leader?' in the group UK Worship Forum - UK Worship Leaders Network"WL or whatever I am, I'm getting ready with all the last minute WL admin before I go to this mornings service!
Perhaps the new term for WL should be "He or She who has tenacity and staying power"!
God Bless ... Paul"
Paul Stoakes replied to Dorothy Murphy's discussion 'Worship Leader?' in the group UK Worship Forum - UK Worship Leaders Network"Hi Di Hi,
I don't like the term Worship Leader, in the context of the church music group.
To me, it has connotations of grandeur and authority, a sort of status term that I fight to shy away from.
I feel this way because of the American CCM…"
Paul Stoakes replied to Wayne Pau's discussion 'Where have all the grumpy people gone?' in the group Old and Wrinkly!"Grumpy, but been busy moaning in other directions and at other people.
Can I be grumpy and moan about the way that worship is becoming more of a marketable spectator event?
I want to get back to basics, in church, with no celebrity worship leaders…"
Paul Stoakes replied to Kevin Riner's discussion 'feminizing church'"Surely the song is just to get people to that place a little closer to God and if it succeeds who cares how un p.c lyrics seem to be."
Paul Stoakes replied to Kevin Riner's discussion 'feminizing church'"I love the lyrics of this song, I first saw Jesus Culture sing it on You Tube, and what passion they deliver it with.
Don't you agree that there are songs that just touch people and reduce them to tears for no known reason , and I think "O…"
Toni replied to Paul Stoakes's discussion 'How are your worship musical tastes developing?' in the group Old and Wrinkly!"TBH many of the old hymns were just junk with a patina of respectability that came from age and ignorance. Just like so much recent stuff is junk, but without the patina. I grew up in a baptist church, and once I actually became a Christian I…"
Daniel Read replied to Paul Stoakes's discussion 'How are your worship musical tastes developing?' in the group Old and Wrinkly!"I guess I'm probably getting more grumpy and critical as I get older.....
Actually, I do like quite a lot of the music that has come out over the last 10-15 years. Despite my complaints (elsewhere) about these songs with enormous ranges to…"
Paul Stoakes replied to Wayne Pau's discussion 'A simplier Time' in the group Old and Wrinkly!"We are still more or less in those simpler times.
It's exactly as you said, OHP, small PA mixer near the group (No multicore here), few mics for the vocals and we have only just started putting the acoustic guitars direct into the PA.
This is…"

Trevor Binkley said… - HI Paul, Yes that spot is just over an hour from my house. In these parts it is a fairly famous hiking and recreation spot called the Columbia River Gorge. That hike climbed nearly 5000' in about 5.5 miles. It was one of the most challenging hikes I've ever done, but the view was worth it.
Great to meet you here in Cyberspace. Blessings!
