I saw a very cool band called Spoken Groove at Soul Survivor. They are a two piece Peter Nevland and Paul Finley. Paul play some amazing acoustic guitar, while Peter is a poet. He moved between speaking, rapping and singing throughout their set, which included various hilarious songs as well as some incredibly moving and intelligent pieces. I bought their first album “Acoustic Spoken Groove” which is very funky in places, if you like something a bit different I’d recommend you check them out.

I got back from spending a week at Soul Survivor on Saturday. I really enjoyed this year even though it seems to come back more knackered every year. We took a group of nine young people, but three of them were over eighteen. I enjoyed the worship in the meetings, but they did end up repeating a lot of songs. The talks were excellent and even though I’d heard a few bits before (particularly stories from J John and Mike Pilavachi) the talks by Andrew Croft and Ali Martin were very interesting and Jim Yost’s was awe inspiring and very daunting.

I’ll probably have some photos up sometime.
