Visit WorshipCentral.org for news, dates, blogs, new songs and lots more. Al is married to Olivia and they have a baby boy called Kester.
hi Al, writing from Kentucky in USA... just picked up your latest on iTunes.. good stuff. I've listened to the podcast and it's need to hear the rough cuts transition into full production.. Are you going to the Chicago meeting in June (? I think it's June) I am going to try and make it up there.. Best Regards, Ryan
In regards to the J200, I have to be different, so I'll stick with the Hummingbird for now. After all, I do recall someone saying it sounded FAR better than the J200's! Hmmm.
i love the new album... since I heard How Long? from the WorshipCentral site back a few semesters I was hooked... come across the pond to Nashville. bring Tim with you when ya do. haha
Hey Al - I had a wicked day at WC, it was really inspiring and so good to be refreshed after what felt like half a year of wading through mud at church!
But yeah, had a fantastic time. Loving your album too, its massive!
Thank you for being our friend! Love your new music and especially love the way you lead worship. Keep it up and keep letting Him use you. You Rock! and I'm betting you're missing IN n Out. Cheers from Costa Mesa, CA!

Mr Gordon...I don't know if you even check this page but what the hey, I'll indulge in a comment anyway. Mucho respect...the tunes are sounding really good. I'm guessing you'll next be bouncing north for Worship Central in Glasgow?
Thanks so much for the add. Can't wait for Future Sound. Hearing you talk about the future sound of worship was awe inspiring. Particularly love the song Everlasting Arms.
