This is one of those lists where your mind goes blank and get's longer as time goes on. So in no perticular order here goes. Lifehouse, Rich Mullins, Blind boys of Alabama, John Mayer, The Dave Matthews Band (The greatest band in the world). I feel I need to include U2, Coldplay & Oasis! Vineyard music, David Crowder Band, Smashing Pumpkins (Oh yes!!) Sheryl Crow, David Grey, Marcus Bacroft, Tracey Chapman, K T Tunstall, Mark Knopfler, The Goondocks, Jack Johnson, Tree 63, A couple of worship leaders signed to vertical music and a couple signed to survivor. I'm sure there is more but that is all I can bothered to type right now!!
Sounds Like
Honestly, I haven't got a clue - please e-mail suggestions and thoughts
Not too much to say about me really. Started leading worship at 16 became a Christian at 17 (Yes that'r right. Confused??? E-mail and I'll explain. Too much to type right now)
I joined a church at 18 and spent about 6 years as a worship leader there, developing, growing, being crafted.
Whilst there I also lead worship in the youth venue of New Wine Summer Conference down in sunny Shepton Mallet and done that for about 5/6 years (One of the 2) and met some great people and built up a cool network of friends through that.
The other year some of us lead worshippers(about a dozen) in New Wine churches spent a few weekends together over that year to hang out and develop toghether as worship leaders song writers and servents. We spent time with Matt Redman, Eoghan Heaslip, Don Williams, Todd Proctor, Neil Bennetts, Gareth Robinson and others and was a great time of learning and encouragement and refreshment. It was over that year I fealt God Call me in to a full time church leadership team as a worship pastor.
I started working for New Wine about 4 years ago and in Sept 05 God called to leave the church I had been with and love and to go part time at New Wine.
Since then I have joined the staff of a great little church in Shepherds Bush, west london that the curate of my old church, Cameron Collington, left to become vicar of, called St Simons as their worship pastor.
It's been an exciting 6 months. I have a great team around me and work on a great staff team.
Over the last 6 months I have seen a lot of changes in the worship life and in the tools for our times of sung worship and feel encouraged by a quote of my old vicar that "living things change" A living flower chnages and grows. A dead one doesn't.
God has a lot more instore as well............Time to press in a find out what will please Him.
In a nut shell thats me.....Thanks for stoping by!
gutted I didn't get a chance to say hi on Wednesday night- thanks so much for coming along- and I apologise for getting the words of The Mystery muddled up- I believe you knew them all!:)

Haha, ok. No pressure at all. Nothing to fear. I'm definitely coming.
How are you going?
I just enquired about a flight on the Xth of October (early in the month). I think im not going to tell Becky the exact day but give her a - lets say - 1 week time frame and come as a surprise :D. I might tell you though when I book one just in case I need a little help when I get there. Haha.
Bbq sounds good to me. I'm always up for them. Haha.
Do you know if Becky is coming out at Christmas? Haha, cause I won't be coming back and don't want to be left in England alone.
Ok, well i think that's all i have to say for the moment. Have fun!
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11
Greg Farmer,
My prayer for you is the same. May you continue to grow in the love of Christ and may HIS blessings ever be upon your life.
hey cobber! things going well, pretty busy with work. Been playing some good oil country music which is great, jamming 7 roads towards an album, and been playing drums for worship which is nice.

But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24
Greg Farmer,
I just wanted to stop by with a verse and to thank you for being our friend at worship music connect. May the light of the Lord shine on your life today. God bless you my friend.
We hope all is well? Don’t be a stranger; we love to hear what’s going on with you, even if you just told us yesterday.

Bronchitis eh. That sucks. Get well soon. I had that once, can't say I enjoyed it. lol.
Mmm yeah. Last year definitely was better. Hopefully next year though delirious/newsboys/switchfoot haha. some bands like that.
Ahh.. nope. It was scat - an Australian band + others. the piano guy was from another jazz band there and some of the others were from the swing band that was there. The double bass guy got into it. He was standing up on it and playing at one stage.
yeah im pretty good. getting over a cold i got just before agmf. bad timing i know. yourself?
sunday night church was amazing. the worship was best ever. i enjoyed it anyway. haha. ahh... as for bands. i missed the ones on sat night (as i had to work, also had to work sunday in the day time) which i hear were good, namely superchic[k] from the usa. cant say i really enjoyed the likes of blindside or day of fire. haha. anyway. i liked last years lineup better. next year promises to be better it being the 10th year of the festival.
one of the best things though was the fancy pants ball as the last show at the festival. 5000 or so people grooving to a full jazz band. haha. it was fun.
