Thanks to all of you who have ordered the new album 'Once in a while.'  I am so pleased with the response to the album and am excited at the opportunities to tour the record over the next year! 

The recent tour with Jeff Lucas, CWR and Compassion UK was fantastic, and we laughed and cried our way through the week. All good stuff. Compassion UK gained a good number of new child sponsors which is fantastic and puts everything in perspective. I'm acutely aware at the moment with all that has been happening around the globe, Haiti being the main catalyst, that it is so important for us to do our part. This tour showed me that all we need to do is look at what is in front of us and do that! We don't need to become complicated, it's so important to not get paralysis. Simply do what is in front of you to do.

I'm so pleased to tell you all that I'll be touring once again with J John and friends this Spring. We had such a great time in September and October last year that we're doing it again!

I just got back from one of the most amazing weeks of my life so far! I had the opportunity to visit Ethiopia with Compassion UK alongside J John and several other of his associates from around the UK.  For those of you who don't know anything about this charity, Compassion works through local churches overseas to release children from economic, social, physical and spiritual poverty. Though child sponsorship, many hundreds of children, and families have their lives transformed. I cannot express enough how powerful an experience this trip was. As someone who perhaps has a tendency to look for problems and holes in sponsorship programmes and development strategies, I have come away convinced that this charity truly makes an incredible difference! I sponsored a little boy called Samuel, who is just 3 years of age and lives with his mother and four other brothers.  Because of sponsorship Samuel will always have health checks, treatment for any health issues, clothes, shoes on his feet, nutritional care, spiritual care and schooling. These are basic rights that every child should have, and if I can just spare less that £20 a month (1 trip to Starbuck's each week) someone else gets their human right!
