Worship Leaders
Matt Redman
When Matt Redman gets to the heart of the matter, the truth quickly comes to light: when it comes to all this chaos and turmoil, all this fear and all these failing economies, what matters most is the heart. Matt’s latest studio album - ‘We Shall Not Be Shaken’ - does precisely that, stripping away...
Cathy Burton
Cathy Burton approaches song writing and performing like one of those unexpectedly brilliant street painters that seem to only ever appear in the biggest tourist hotspots. Just watching the process of creation is as rewarding an experience as savouring the finished thing. Starting out as a music scholar, Cathy's craft has been developed over years...
Marc James
Marc’s story isn’t conventional. Nor is his creativity. And both combine to make for some truly great music. Frontman, songwriter and session guitarist, Marc has played many roles over the years. Before setting up his own label Full Circle Records in 2005, Marc released most of his songs through Vineyard Music who brought him to...

Nick J Drake
Some artists write songs that reflect the journey they have been on. Others use their words and melodies to signpost the way forward. Nick J Drake, in his debut album for Survivor Records, does both. Brilliantly. ‘All For Christ’ has grown out of years as worship pastor at St Paul’s, Hammersmith, London - a...
Ian Yates
Two years ago Ian Yates was a young worship leader committed to a small church set in the middle of one of the UK’s areas of highest unemployment. Today, little has changed: the youth, energy and optimism is as fresh as ever, the church is still made up of a dedicated band of believers serving...
Al Gordon

Martin Smith (Delirious?)
On paper it should never really have made sense: Delirious? should never have got as far as they did. No band had that came before them had ever made so much noise in churches. No Christians had talked so openly about their faith in clubs and media for quite some time. No one had...
Ben Cantelon
It’s a struggle, all right. Filtering out the real from a sea of imitations, choosing honesty over pretence, mining for truth when so much around us is fake. But that’s the journey that Ben Cantelon is on - a search shared by fellow worshippers the world over. And it’s the soundtrack to his debut album,...
Graham Kendrick
Everybody knows Graham Kendrick’s story: the anthems, the marches, the soundtrack that has kept in step with the advancing church over recent decades. But take a listen to his latest album (his thirty-seventh, by all counts) and it’s clear that Graham’s story has a fresh chapter to be studied, appreciated and passed on for generation...
Chris McClarney

Unassuming, yet possessing a voice that could stop traffic, Chris McClarney is an underground phenomenon whose name has the currency of gold. From iTunes charts to church movements, many, many people are talking about...
Kelly Minter

In the meantime, she works hard to hone the gifts she’s been given, seeking God with commitment and an honest integrity that shines through in everything she does. Kelly never...
Ken Riley (yfriday)
"The presence of God is the most infectious experience anyone can have, it is unique, awesome and life changing, and once encountered you simply can never be the same again." The words of Ken Riley, singer and frontman with one of the UK’s most influential groups of the last of decade or two: the soon-to-be-ending...
Keith & Kristyn Getty
It is a timeless truth that what we sing helps dictate what we become. You can see it in evidence in the work of Charles Wesley or John Newton, the writers of timeless classics that went so far in constructing a musical and practical theology. Their hymns helped the church become engaged in fresh ways...
Roy Fields
Raised as the only child of a single mother in upstate New York, Roy Fields was surrounded by ministry and music throughout his formative years. His first practical musical experience came when he was in a good old fashioned house meeting. There were five guitarists leading worship and the presence of the Lord was very...
Bluetree
Take six guys from Belfast - the sort who grew up in and around the troubles, whose faith evolved as roadblocks and bomb scares punctuated their daily routines - and grow them in a church soaked in worship. Open them up to a sense of adventure, to a passion for local churches and prodigals, fill...
David Ostby
”My passion is really for the local church. I know that everyone says that these days, but I know it to be true. It’s logical, isn’t it? It’s through the local church that God brings his kingdom to the world. So I believe that everything with a global impact starts locally. And that’s where I...
Miriam Webster
If you’d been there, you probably wouldn’t have thought much of it. After all, it was just a kid dancing at the front of church. But when that child is a four-year-old named Miriam Webster, and that church happens to be experiencing a profound revival, it’s hard to overstate the significance. “I was really young...
Brenton Brown
“Sometimes it seems as though all we can see is the ending. Tragedy hits and we wonder if there ever will be a way out of our low point. We cannot see the beginnings and middles that follow, and we are blind to our part in the greater story that Christ himself writes.” Brenton Brown...
Rend Collective Experiment
What can you say about Rend Collective Experiment? Well, quite a lot, so it happens. There’s a lot of chat about this new worship group from Northern Ireland, and whenever you tune in to the buzz there are some pretty familiar words that keep on appearing: fresh, inspirational, mindblowingly-good. Rend like to do things differently....
Aaron Keyes
Aaron began leading worship in the summer of 1998 at the JH Ranch, a Christian camp in Northern California.

Called Underground, the regular worship meetings continued for two years and attracted hundreds of college students from across the state. Since then...
Nick Herbert
