It’s amazing how quickly the weeks role into months and already the season of autumn surrounds us.

At the moment we are finalising our dates for a very good Christmas Tour which will take us all over the country to places that we have been before, and also to some new destinations which I am very excited about. It’s always nice to visit and meet new people. It also great to be able to support some of the excellent Charities and Services that do so much for people throughout the country and beyond.

It is great to hear the new collection Healing Song being used already in many places and a special thank you to the Radio Stations that have been playing some of the tracks. I have received some very moving emails from around the world telling me about specific ways in which the music has been used and it’s very humbling to read your kind comments.

I hope and pray that my music will continue to bring solace and consolation in times of need. Over the past year or so I have been writing a new book which will be called 'The Hope Prayer'. As we all know so well, many people are struggling to come to terms with great changes in life brought about by the economic recession. Many dreams have been shattered ,as the great trust and belief people had in the great institutions has been left severely lacking.

Much healing is needed so that trust can be restored. This book is a collection of prayer-poems and reflections in search of Hope. It is my great wish that you will find in it a source of encouragement and that it will offer some food for thought. It is being published by Hachette Books who have been so helpful and supportive of my work.

The book will be available from October 19th. I so look forward to meeting with you in the weeks ahead

With kind blessings
