In the Pipeline

Posted on May 26, 2009 by Steph 1 Comment

It’s been a great week so far.  I had my surgery and I’m getting back on top.  I’m also off the pain killers so I’m no longer sedate and can feel my creativity wanting to kick into overdrive.  So, I’ve been writing quite a bit with a couple of new songs and a few half songs.

I was asked last year if I wanted to write some original material for Origin Scotland and the Exile Band’s debute album.  I jumped at the chance and wrote 3 songs for the project.  Origin Scotland is a music ministry based in Edinburgh and South Africa.  They include a large choir, orchestral instruments and a fantastic band.  I had the privilege of being part of the ministry as their lead guitar player a couple of years ago.

Anyway, we recorded the album on the Isle of Mull in January 2009 and it was released a week last Sunday at a Praise night in Edinburgh.  It really is a great album, very powerful Christian music, and also has songs written by my friends Mark Calder and Rebecca Hardie Nee Plant.

You can check out Origin and/or purchase a copy of their album here.

I’m looking forward to writing more.  I’m hoping to record my own Christian Album at the beginning of next year.  I’ve been deeply inspired by the music of Eric Bibb recently and I am hoping to do a similiar album to his very cool Spirit and the Blues.
