There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama apparently…

November 29, 2008

It’s Official, Barack Obama is Irish!

Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys played at an election night gig in a pub in Moneygall, a small town in central Ireland from where a local clergyman, citing official records, said Senator Obama’s ancestor, Fulmuth Kearney, emigrated in 1850.

Thanks again to Dave Wainscott for pointing this out to me

Well I never!

Bono – A conversation on Christianity…

November 6, 2008

When I was a student U2 were local boys just starting to make some ripples on the local & UK music scene. Shirley & I went to see them play Maysfield Leisure centre in Belfast way back in 1982 (before it was knocked down).

There was already something ‘other dimensional’ about their songs and sound.

I’ve come to realise that they are probably the most high profile ‘guerrilla worship’ band in the world.

Thanks to Dave Wainscott for finding this clip of some of Bono’s quotes on Christianity.

What Others Are Saying…

Kathryn Scott'I've known Andy for 18 years - both as a worship leader in the church I attended as a teenager, and then as a friend and co-leader as we grew a little older together.

He is one of the most servant-hearted people I know. Few understand, and live out true worship like Andy - and I feel honored to serve with him because of it!

If you ever get the chance to have him come and lead at your church - or to listen to the songs that he has been writing - or to input as he explores the whole idea of writing as an online community (OpenSourceSongs.com) - I cannot more highly recommend that you jump at it. Andy really is one in a million - he's the real deal.' - Kathryn Scott
