On our return journey from Scotland, we were delighted to be able to make a pitstop in Leyland in Lancashire. Leyland is a smallish town with a lively church in the centre. And for one day only, timed perfectly for our return south, the maker of the soundtrack to our lives since children have joined us, Colin Buchanan, was playing a concert.
Colin has a new album out – God Rock – which we had already listened to for most of the journey. It was great to hear the new material – and some old favourites – live and presented with lots of laughs. He still has eight UK dates left to play so you might be able to catch him live yourself. Highly recommended for primary school aged kids. The Queen is in Year 6 and enjoyed herself immensely. On the clip below there are a few samples of songs from the new album. I really think Bear Grylls should hear the Survival Man song. We also have a lovely pic of the kids with Colin but we haven’t quite worked out how to transmit it from the Vicar’s new phone, so you may have to wait for that one.

We (2 adults, 4 children — 12, 10½, 7 and almost-5 year olds) all enjoy Colin’s music. We especially appreciate his faithfulness to the Bible. He has a real God-given gift for expressing the Truth in a really catchy, memorable way.
Go Colin!
P.S We’ve got to wait another couple of days, before we see him in Enfield (the children don’t know yet…)
He has been the soundtrack to our lives too! We saw him in Kendal last week and had so much fun. We are using some songs from God Rock in our Sunday School 🙂
