Worship band 1997-98

Return to My Music

Ah, those were the days! It only lasted for a year before I had to move away, but it brings back happy memories!

The band comprised: Robbie Griffith on funky keyboard, Jonathan on drums and electronic drum-pad, Malcolm and John Greening on guitar (we eventually persuaded John to play electric guitar); Matt Rowe on bass; Catherine Rowe and Bev Stephens on vocals; Jeremy on sound desk.

We aimed for well rehearsed arrangements, with an out of the ordinary feel. And yes, to a degree we were performing, but that was to play to the best of our ability as an act of worship, and thus lead others in worship. The band continued for a while after John and I moved on.

Some very interesting and foot-tapping arrangements emerged of classics such as

  • Be still and know / O Lord I want to sing your praises
  • Lord I lift your name on high / You are mighty
  • Ancient of Days
