Lots of fireworks from my garden at New Year 2021-2022
This binaural recording shows the build-up to New Year with increasing amounts of fireworks, then lots of very loud fireworks close by after midnight and people cheering and wishing each other "happy new year" in the distance, then the number of fireworks decreasing at the end. It was recorded with my iPhone in conjunction with the Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset, which gives a brilliant stereo...

All Are Welcome - my intro from Church then my recording of Let Us Build a House #Methodist
Choosing hymns is an important part of preacher training. In a service about Methodism I chose various Wesley hymns, but this, by Marty Haugen, is the hymn that represents Methodism to me the most and I explained why in my introduction, which I shared during the service, followed here by my recording of the song, made earlier this year for online services during the lockdowns.

My opening prayers and singing of How Great Thou Art from a service on 21 Nov 2021
As part of my Methodist local preacher training I'm leading parts of services in various Churches. These were my opening prayers plus an unaccompanied rendition of one of my favourite hymns: How Great Thou Art. It's a prayer of praise set to music, with the wonderful line "then sings my soul". My soul sings the prayer, not just my voice.

Home Soon - my song about soldiers recording stories for their children from war zones, sung at Church on Remembrance Sunday
Many years ago I heard a program on Radio 4 called "Once Upon a Time on the Front Line" about a project, Storybook Soldiers, where soldiers could record stories for their children while they were abroad working. It was incredibly moving and made a big impression so I wrote this song and I shared it with the congregation at Church on Remembrance Sunday.
