I don't really have a band as such, but there's a great group of friends who regularly play together and helped my record the demos here. They key players are:
Jon Jolly: Guitar & Vocals
Ben Matthews: Bass, Guitar
Dave Johnson: Guitar, Drums, Programming
Influences
Where do we start? The songs here on MySpace are works in progress and although Dave's put a lot of effort into recording them, they don't fully reflect where we want them to go! Between the three of us we have quite varied and diverse musical taste. I'm somewhere between accoustic worship and electronica!
Here's some of the music that is regularly on my iPod:
My name's Jon Jolly and I'm a full-time Youth Worker in Littlehampton, UK. In my spare time I listen to loads of music and lead worship at Arun Community Church.
I'm not really a bit fan of myspace, so if you want to know what's going on with me, check out my blog at JonJolly.com or read the headlines below!

As we are about to celebrate Easter, I wanted to send You the lyrics of a song I wrote a long time ago as a reminder of God´s unconditional love.
Consider how he loves you, consider how he cares
For there can´t be a greater love than to lay down your life for a friend
The wheel of history´s turning, as he forgives in pain
In meekness and humility there dies the son of man
Consider how he loves you, consider how he cares
He is a priceless treasure, not a billion words could explain
He´s called “a friend of sinners”, though he is pure in heart
If he was not a sinner´s friend, my friend he could not be
Consider how he loves you, consider how he cares
He is a God of mercy, amazing is his grace
With words of deep affection He is knocking at my door
That I might listen and adore the greatest friend of all
It's that time again.
