Hugh Moore & The Louvin Brothers

Went to the meetin at Carrowdore Mission Hall tonight - it's in a different building now, but it's where Graeme and I went to Sunday School. Hugh Moore was singing and Roy Ferris preached. It was great.

Hugh was one of the singers who really made a big impact on me when I was wee. He still has a brilliant bass voice. He used to sing with a guitar, now it's backing tapes. Tonight he really blew me away when he sang the old Louvin Brothers song "Thank God for My Christian Home".

Brilliant song, sung really well by a good man tonight. Excellent stuff.

"SOBAH" Volume 2?

Looks like it'll be the autumn before we get this one out; probably not a bad thing as we have some big ideas for it and it'll be better if we take a bit of time to get it right. Sorry if you've been hoping for (what we also hoped would be) a Spring release. We hope it'll be worth the wait.
