One of the highlights of each of the last 4 years for me has been the opportunity to lead the singing at Men’s Katoomba Convention over 3 weekends in February and March.
I have just finished rehearsing for 2 days in Sydney for this year’s event, which has been great as always. It’s brilliant to be able to play with some really fantastic musicians, including Javed Sterritt (drummer for the band Holland), Trent Prees (bass player from the band Garage Hymnal) as well as old friend and keyboardist/backing vocalist Rob Brown, and great new electric guitarist Cedric Tang.
Can I recommend MKC to any men living anywhere remotely within reach of Katoomba? Each year I am challenged about my life, especially about keeping Christ-focussed in work, church and family. This year’s topic is “Men at Work”, and I expect it will contain plenty of useful stuff that this rather busy guy needs to hear.
We’ve rehearsed 20 songs for the weekend – including a few songs off my new album (whose release will coincide with the conference), plus a bunch of great new songs to take back to the musos at your church, and plenty of old favourites.
Hope you can make it!
