Christ Church Moreton Hall

You will probably have heard by now that Cathy and Dan are coming to Christ Church on Friday, October 12. For those of you who have not heard them perform I felt brief introductions would be helpful. Both performed at New Wine this year, and here is what the event programme had to say.

Firstly Dan: ‘Dan is a singer-songwriter who has performed at numerous festivals and gigs around the UK. A conviction that music can communicate at the point where belief and experience collide has come to characterize his music……Cross Rhythms editor Tony Cummings commented that “Dan is something of a wonder on today’s scene, making music that can speak to a wide audience yet neatly sidestepping the Bible verse sloganeering or obscure metaphors of many Christian singer-songwriters”’.

Dan is also a wonderful guitarist, and has appeared on recordings by many top Christian artists.

Now Cathy: ‘Cathy combines a disarming knack for personal honesty with a rare gift for tunes that establish an instant rapport. She’s quite simply the real deal: an intimate soul with an unbreakable set of beliefs in life, love, the universe and whatever comes next. She recently played at Glastonbury with her band Hummingbird. Come to hear her amazing voice, which hurts as well as heals’

An evening with Dan and Cathy is always good fun, as they share funny stories about life and the inspirations behind their songs. Musically this will not be the full Cathy band sound, just Cathy and Dan on guitar and a keyboard player; a more acoustic feel. The format for the evening will be two 45 minute sets with a pause in between for refreshments. The refreshments will be very simple and light, maintaining the inner person while providing time to mingle and chat. Both Cathy and Dan are very approachable and would be delighted to spend time with people, and of course to sell their CDs…

If you brought someone along to the Esther McCarthy evening then please consider coming along to this evening too and inviting them again. If you didn’t, then think if there is anyone you know who would enjoy a fun evening with excellent musical entertainment and bring them along.

Tickets, priced at £7 per person are available from the church office. There are also flyers and posters if you have the opportunity to advertise the event yourself. If you have any questions, please contact me.
